End of the Line- MOVIE

Big question: Why should we humans be concerned of overfishing?

                     * Because people are losing jobs after the cod fishery collapsed 
                     * Fish are dying and becoming endangered! 
                     * Important resourceful fish breeds are dying

1. What are the "Big Five" fish the majority of us eat?

    * Cod, Haddock, Tuna, Salmon, and Prawns

2. What is the reason for not eating sharks or other DEEPwater fish?

    * they tend to be slow growing, long-lived species which means they at extremely vulnerable to over-exploitation.
 
3. What are some "fish to eat," "fish to eat occasionally," and "fish to avoid?"

    * some fish to eat are usually from sustainable stocks or farms, or resilient to fishing pressure. 
    * some fish to eat OCCASIONALLY are lower resilience, and at risk of being sustainable. Also,
      they are probably recovering from previous exploitation.
    * some fish to avoid are Unsustainable, overfished, and poorly managed fisheries have messed up
      their cycle.
