Trek net fishermen at Muizenberg

Overfishing visually explained

Ocean2012 is a group focused on the 2012 review of European Union fishing practices. Their mission is

…to ensure that the 2012 reform of the EU Common Fisheries Policy stops overfishing, ends destructive fishing practices and delivers fair and equitable use of healthy fish stocks.

To this end they have created a short animated video explaining overfishing. It’s easy to understand, and charmingly done.

(As an aside, I hate Vimeo – I can only hope users outside South Africa or with faster internet connections have a better viewing experience than I do.)
