- Join the campaign to end EU overfishing, bit.ly/Xiyz7E - this animation was first launched in May 2012, some of it is out of date, but not the part about citizens responsibility to support decision-makers ... you can help end overfishing.
I am an environmental science student. When I see this kind of video, it makes me wanna cry. Hopefully, I can make a difference by applying my academic knowledge to save our plant.
Hi. In what thing are you working now?
I believe in you. I know it's fiver years later and I hope you graduated. We need people like you
So how is the plant doing? Flowering yet?
Word twin
Our award winning animation that has been viewed over 280,000 times in the last week
280,000 people viewed this. Thanks for preaching to the choir.
***** Lol.... You're stupid and need to be quiet. Thanks.
though arrogant he's got a point. though I've never met a person whose never told a lie, when you're caught in one. all credibility is out the window because "mistakes" are no longer accepted, nor appreciated.:(..
***** if you listen closely to the film it says, MOST farmed fish.
***** if you listen even closer the film says, many of the farmed fish.
It's so sad to see this in 2021 and know that almost nothing has changed since it was published in 2012.
"Citizens have responsibility in encouraging and supporting their politicians to make those decisions." ...Yeah... And the Corporation have the money which also encourages and supports the wallets of these fellow politicians.
When its all gone we will understand, but then we will be dying too
That's what I fear. Too many short-sighted people who don't look beyond their immediate life; they don't understand the serious implications of what is happening.
@Conner Podrez_3240324 Dwindling sea life is happening at an alarming rate.
Am teaching about sustainability in the ocean this is a great example of overfishing to show my class
Glad you like it, and if you class would like to take action to end EU overfishing, please encourage them to support, advocacy.pewtrusts.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1793&ea.campaign.id=31718
+OCEAN2012EU hey I just saw your videoclip
wow it just shocked me, I'm having a lecture about this for my fellow students.
But Thats not why I'm here, I have a question, I just saw we reached like 81.000 signatures, but whats going to happen next? Because we reached the goal of 80.000
kind regards
I am baffled by the advice to beg corrupt politicians for help. What about consuming less of endangered species and providing a link to where they are listed?
This is a pertinent message. The issue of overfishing and overexploitation of our marine environment (and others) is massive. Something needs to be done, otherwise we'll shortly run out of fish entirely.
I heard a relevant quote whilst I was studying marine biology. "So how then can we ensure stocks recover and fish sustainably? Don't."
We talk a lot about this in my environmental science classes. Personally, when I fish recreationaly I only keep fish if we'll eat them that same day.
Good practice! Mind you, sport fishing has a minuscule impact next to industrial scale extraction.
By far the biggest issue is bycatch and quotas. You get the odd situations where a vessel has met its quota and has to chuck back good fish to avoid being fined. Or disposing of non-target fish because quotas have been exceeded or they just don't want it. Fish thrown back is usually dead, and the populations are getting hammered for nothing. We don't have a way of fishing selectively enough, and even if we did, how would we stop the older breeding populations being completely removed?
Totally agree. I know recreational fishing is a drop in the bucket, and many recreational fish are not commercially harvested, but I feel so guilty if fish sits in the freezer unused. That being said, fish fried tge same day they are caught are sooo delicious. On a side note, have you ever seen Disney's "Oceans" (narrated by Pierce Brosnan)? It's one of our favorites; very well done documentary with a segment on bycatch.
Mark Fletcher You highly underestimate just how many sports fishermen there are. Here in British Columbia they are finishing off the last of our rockfish stocks. These are fish with lifespans that can go up to 200 years. After spending the big bucks to go out salmon fishing, when they don't catch anything, they go fish out the local rockfish hole. It doesn't take long to wipe out a fish population when they can't reproduce fast enough to recover.
Roy Mulder I take your point! There are obviously fish species that are more prone to this kind of pressure - I'm uk based so I must confess the majority of my fishing and marine knowledge is based on this side of the pond! Are there protections in place for the rockfish?
I may be wrong, but I think the Americans take their sport fishing more seriously than us - so please forgive my ignorance of the pressures (not sarcastically, literally). I would guess that the sports fishermen are taking the larger, more interesting species, too... the ones with little to no commercial value?
It reminds me of the plight of the orange roughy - cursed with being both delicious and easy to catch en-masse, it was nearly wiped out because in the early days of exploiting the fishery they didn't appreciate how long lived they are. I forget exactly, but I think they don't start breeding until they're at least 20 years old, so it's remarkably easy to be left with a severely impacted population. Thankfully they realised just in time and strong controls have allowed recovery whilst fishing more sustainably. There is hope in that regard!
(So long as everyone is on board... It's all very well (for example) the UK having decent and strong fishing policy and controls if other European boats aren't playing by the same rules)
And yet, in Poland (one of EU countries), fish is incredibly expensive and thus rarely end up in citizens diet. So we throw subsidiaries because of fishing limits no one observes, causing fish to be expensive commodity and to decrease citizens health in the process. In the end only fishing companies win, no one else. Or rather their shareholders, when fish is gone so are the companies. That's typical for money influenced political policies and has to be stopped.
This is fucking outstanding and so well done. The animations and art style are also beautiful. This isn't really news to me but this is the best collection of data and effective infographics I have seen on the subject, so I've taken it upon myself to share this with my rather extensive social network to spread the word.
I want to do what I can to help! If we all stand by thinking, “Someone will do something,” nothing will ever be done.
also stop buying processed fish (canned tuna etc) and if you want to eat fish, buy it from a local fish market. My local fish store stopped selling specific types of fish and sels his fish responsibly. be inspired by those people
As an America, I find this wonderful. ...I stopped buying carnivorous fish from my market over a ago (I'm a Zoologist, yet even I was ignorant to the "fish farm" industry)!
you are an America?
@@NajCarnage As an Canada I can relate, brother...
To anyone asking what the solution is - yes pressuring our politicians is very important but it also starts with us. The simplest thing to do is realise that we all need to limit our consumption of animal products (fish and meat included). Limiting yourself to 3 or 4 times a week is actually a much healthier diet, and this would dramatically help reducing the demand for these animal products. The reality at the moment is that many people think it is normal to have meat or fish 2 or 3 times a day, whereas this is historically fairly new in the history of our species.
#OCT23 #MEPs can vote for subsidies that will support an end to overfishing.
just stop over eating and food waste then there will be no benifit from over fishing dont cut the tail of the salemandar cut its head off. with this u will just make hungry ppl
Fourq Nouw yeah, because just stopping people from overeating is that easy. Besides, it won't work. Even if it were possible to stop people overeating it would only delay the problem. If we did that the population would just grow even more until we hit the limit again, but with more poverty.
Scientifically speaking, if we can't control our own population there is no way out of this. But putting limits on fishing is a good start.
Adam Chatfield so you are saying that you only eat fish?
No, I in no way insinuated that. That comment isn't even a valid point to make. Overeating is a genuine problem in terms of food production, but trying to control it is just unreasonable.
By the way, in what way does eating only fish have anything to do with my previous comment?
my teacher is having us watch these videos while we're on lockdown drill 💀💀
humans are the worst thing to happened to this planet
+paul 88 *Humans are the worst thing to happen to humans.
The planet will be just fine, it will just look different - with, or without us.
Man, this is a tough issue. The tipping point to reverse this on a global scale is huge. Its positive and great that some nations are trying to curb the supply, but business and profiteering literally do not allow a full reverse. As the middle class grows in developing countries, so will demand for fish (and meats), and we simply can't control the economies of nations outside of the EU. I was also shocked to learn that farmed fish uses so much of their non-farmed counterparts in production. Think I might pass on the smoked salmon for Christmas nibbles from now on.
Someday soon we will sing, "So long and thanks for all the fish"
Exactly Fabio .We cannot have both . Either we go on as ever or we have to make a big turn
The only problem with this video is that it does not state how to end overfishing so nothing will be done about it. You must provide a possible answer if you state a problem.
Put pressure on government is what they're saying
Set aside 20-30% of the whole ocean as full no-take marine sanctuaries.
I'm think no-take places exist but some people don't care. You could farm fish in large tanks that are overwhatched.
isn't that quite clear? Stop eating so much fish!! When there's no demand there is no need to fish to deliver to that demand. Logic sense really. Do you eat seafood?
Poor, poor, poor, hard-working and under-appreciated politicians. * sob *
According to the video - they need "our encouragement and support". Ya know?
Hug a politician today, for a better tomorrow!
Obviously the fishing industry has been hugging politicians if, as the video says, it is being subsidized.
Please tell me the music used I think its amazing. Good job on this video
great animation explaining the human assault! Great alert! Heavy rules needed urgently to stop this abuse!
Besides the content: This is one of the most impressing examples of how to perfectly visualize statistics, that in numbers noone will recognize. Great job
This is a powerful video, the music helps with that so much too, would anyone know what music is playing or where i can use it for a presentation
I've been trying to in the Davao Gulf in Mindanao Philippines with NO luck.. No 1 will help.. Its so over fished its unbelievable.. There are tuna, Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mak, Marlin, Dolphins etc but they are scarce due to over fishing,.. Every June baby Dolphin swim thru along with small tuna right in front of our house.. Closed season for nets is June - Aug but no 1 enforces the law.. :-(
We need to do something about this!! So c’mon people! SHOW SOME EMOTION TO SAVE OUR OCEAN!!
THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE IGNORANT SELFISH POLITICIANS and SPEAK OUT?
The series 'The Blue Planet' (with David Attenborough) has a good episode 'Deep Trouble' (with Martha Holmes), also about the over fishing and destruction of the oceans.
Very well made video! Props!
I am a fisherman. I fish for fun, with a rod and reel. It can take me hours to catch a fish that 99% of the time I release. I am disgusted that someone would fish with a net the size of four football fields. What the hell are we doing to our planet. For Christ’s sake, we only have one earth.
If we could get commercial fishing stopped for 2 years the results would be amazing.
Ich bin wegen Fabian Siegismund hier gelandet, ich finds echt toll dass er unsere jüngere Generation auf Probleme wie die Überfischung auf merksam macht :) Fabian, I mog de und schönen Gruß aus deiner Heimat Koblenz ;)
Does anyone know what app or program they used for the editing and the animation?
I need direction. I will be do what it takes to end this. Who do I write to? Who do I email? What do I do to do my part? I am a US and New Zealand citizen. How do I make sure that I am heard?
Awareness is key. Simply making people aware to this kind of thing has more impact. You have social media. Share links like these hoping other people will share it on.
Stand on your tallest mountain and scream
I believe a good place start in your area is NABU
start by example.. not preaching.. DOING.. go VeGan, for the planet, for the creatures, for the kids, for yourself~
Join an organization that is already working on this, there are no lack of them. Currently NABU is taking on the Hector dolphins in New Zealand. Start in a place that you are familiar with and have a passion for.
Great video, but does anyone know the name of the song?
Don't you worry, life will find a way.
I hope ...
IVE BEEN AWAKE FOR 2 DAYS NOW TRYING TO FINISH MY FUCKING SCIENCE HOMEWORK FOUND THIS AND STARTED CRYING FOR 30 MINUTES WHILE HUGGING MY LAMP I BROKE I AM IN HELL
:( i know humans, we are just evils
yet, the issue still lies with the populous. Support doesn't come from public opinion, support comes for lobbying, and monetary gain. We can scream all we want at those in power, but the world will never change until money is put on the back burner...
Is there a more recent video like this somewhere/??
Additional difficulty is that the sea is in practise often "lawless". Even though fishers have to follow laws, when on sea they may catch way more and throw a large percentage (dead) back overboard. There also isn't a big feeling under the citizens to (1) know what is happening on sea and (2) prioritise it above regular politics.
Now I believe it is too late to be pessimistic, so what to do? How to bring attention of this problem to the crowds, and how to control fishery. How to sustainably feed farmed fish, without using catched fish as food?
everything happening is naturally intended to occur...humans are not an accident we are a species that will end in catastrophe...and once again it will start all over...Joni told us about the circle game.
How strong is it? And what about the soundtrack, so full of feeling! Could you tell me which kind of band is it? Seems to be GY!BE or something like A Silver Mt. Zion...
I feel the problem is a too big of population with old style eating habits. Too many people consuming too much. Noone ever mentions that, do they?
Write to your MEP and ensure when you do buy fish it's coming from a sustainable source, ask your local fishmonger and look into the certification around the fish that the supermarkets sell. Line caught is a good label to look out for!
awesome vid and ideea. congrats!
Something definitely needs to be done to curb overfishing, the problem is that a large percentage of people are seperated from the oceanic realm and fail to realize that there is a problem or why it concerns them. Education I believe would need to be the first step, people need to realize why this is such an important issue.
not only the politicians, each person who does nothing every day to change the things.
well scientists of their respective fields are all recommending the cut down of consumption, be it fish, poultry, wildlife hunting, fuel, forests....but the fact is just that the human population is growing non stop. Cutting down consumption seems like a short term solution, eventually, we'll run out of resources....
Anybody know what program they used to make this animation?
How do I learn to this animation, what program is this?
Honest question..............besides the drastic measures of going vegan, what options do we have as consumer in the markets do we have to stop overfishing?
What song is that?
Could tell me if you would need the text translated into french? I would be delighted to do so ... I would be getting on it as soon as I heard from you. And would need an email to send you the translated transcript which you can then put as part of the captions.
how was this video created or do u have any good animation websties? i need to do a documentary like this for a i.t project
O vídeo está muito bom, parabéns 👾😻
from where do your informations come from? what are your sources?
Is the narrator Iain Glen, the actor who plays Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones?
I'd like to have your music audio made by Stephan Kloss, to prepare for my presentation. I greatly appreciate your kindness!!
Hello, I am a university student and I am doing a Digital Documentary Project. This project is just a homework and I will not upload it to any website, so Can I use your video in my individual project?? Cause I need to get explicit permission from the owner of the video before I use it in my homework. Thank you very much~
goodluck!
This is really depressing.
love the name
@@Ephyria-rn7so thanks
we watched at university prep school this video to improve our listening skills :D ,
If we just write heaps of stuff on this you tube page do you think that'll help
Because thats all anyone is really gonna do
Thats the TRUTH - All young people, look at this- it's YOUR future and that of your children. Help this world. We have only this one.
This animation is wonderful.
Great White Sharks for instance wouldn't usually attack humans, as humans aren't their natural prey. But, with the way the oceans are being so terribly depleted, they might just. So, films like 'Jaws' could be accurate predictions.
Animated beautifully 🤭
So what to do exactly? ;o
I can't stop watching this, it's so interesting yet so scary😨
what was the song that was used in here called ?
Yeah what is it
the number of triangles is too damn low! :D
this break my heart... the posibility...
what does "stocks of fish" mean?
aquaponics is a good approach if you can make a system that balances the oxygen starved algae as a source of food for the growing fish.
my teacher brought me here.
Can you propose solutions to the overfishing problem? How can we counter this problem?
And I also need sources really hard to convince people. Everything I try is fenced off with 'do you have any scientifical source of what those hippies are claiming?'
I decided to give the vegetarian lifestyle a shot (it's difficult I think) to help conserve our world for at least a longer time, but I know and respect that not everybody wants to be a vegetarian.
The solution is other people. They have to stop eat such high ammount of fish or else it won't work. Should they be forced to eat less if they can't restrict themselves? I think so, I don't see any other solution.
what's the name of this song or soundtrack?
Many people in my country started fishing in recent years with the use of spear gun, they post what they catch in Instagram proudly they all do it. And it's a huge over fishing... Fishermen are noticing a decrease in fish and lobsters... Unfortunately there's no law to protect sea life, even if there is implementing it would cause a big problem to the people who over fish. Korean ships come to take everything in our sea. People need to be aware of this phenomenon and tragedy...
let us make a difference before it's too late
How does the Animations of this video and how?
Seriously extreme problems need seriously strong solutions: give the oceans a global break of as many years as it is necessary. Or the profiteers will simply destroy us.
Yes I think by-catch is still a problem, because the oceans are getting empty even if they would keep it and sell it. By-catch often is endangered like turles and dolphins etc. To me it sounds unlikely that they ever keep the by-catch because they're going to need an extra boat if they want to keep the by-catch and the fish they were actually fishing for.
Greed is to blame. Not just greed, but the practices involved in catching fish that are incredibly wasteful.
I'm look this for two times,but I don't know what it means.English is too difficult to me.
+童小屁 Grammar! Grammar!
I feel so happy that I'm allergic to fish.
Yoloanda Why? One person that is allergic to it won’t change anything. You’re just missing the taste of fish in your life. People won’t fish less because of one person. You’d need over thousands of people to not eat fish to just change it a little.
As good as this video is, nothing will come of it. We live in generation "not my problem". Everyone has an opinion. Everyone has a voice. But no one wants to unite and do something, about anything. Instead we just post our comments online about what should be done, and go about our lives.
Where you see problems, I see solutions.
This sucks hard. This is what happens when money rules the world. As long as a country can make good profits from it, they don't care what the consequence is. There's a Japanese show I like that a couple of episodes had them say, "This fish is super rare! There's only 1% of this fish left. Let's go get some!" That's humanity for you, do things now, worry later. Fishers and hunters complain about lack of animals, but that doesn't stop them from depleting the population. Also people are lazy, time is money, they don't want to take the time to fish responsibly and catch only what they need.
so what happenned to Aquaman?
If you would have payed attention to this video, you would know that there isn't such thing as ''honest fish'' because there will still be loads of by-catch.
I agree we are overdoing everything but it's never going to stop until most of the fish are gone.
Why did the petition end on avazz?
I can't really connect the dots here. The video says the EU fishing policy is allowing way too much fishing. I live in a EU country and we use to have a big fishing industri and fish would be a quite cheap source of protein. But the last 20 years the industri have vanished because of the, acording to the industri, extremly harsh quotas. Not to mention the spike in the price of fish, now fish is considered fine dining.
I think you'll more likely find the big fishing quota's have gone to larger fishing ships and businesses rather than the smaller community ones because they haven't been able to compete. I don't know where you live, but here in the UK, fish is not fine dining and quite a common meal.
assignment anyone?
what can we do to stop it? let's shout for help guys
The thing is, even if we were able to change the way governments manage fish stocks - the responsibility lies with the consumer. Governments will only restrict amounts of fish able to be caught which has been proven not to work in places like the north sea and is only damaging to local fishing communities. Excess fish are just thrown back. There is a solution to this, but restricting the amount caught is not it.
Scary !!!!
Posting it on the Association "Scandinavian Wildlife" on FB.
Good video, but that was the weakest "how you can help" I've ever heard of.
Crazy
great video i hope the world will do something about it
Hello, I work at a non profit called Rare (www.rare.org). We would like to get permission to use this video in an eLearning course that will be offered for free to our trainnees, how do we go about getting permission?
