Professor Callum Roberts, from the United Kingdom’s York University concurs, saying, “I think there’s this message of hope because there’s still time to turn the course of history. Although the players have taken poison, there’s still time to save them,” he quips.
Ultimately, the film has three recommendations for the world’s citizens:
First, “ask before you buy,” and only eat seafood from a sustainable source. Look for a Marine Stewardship Council label, or a recommendation from another trusted guide, such as seafoodwatch.org.

Finally, “Join the campaign for marine protected areas and responsible fishing.”
