In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at why plastic isn't the only threat to our seas and oceans. Specifically, I look at how overfishing threatens fisheries fish populations. worldwide. Overfishing has already decimated Atlantic cod and bluefin tuna fisheries and threatens many more. Fishing as a practice has been a staple in many diets for thousands of years but it wasn't until the commodification of fish under capitalism and the heightened industrialization of the fishing trades that global fish population and stocks began to seriously plummet. With inventions like the bottom trawler and big net fishing, fisherfolk are able to catch copious amounts in comparably little time. Overfishing has been devasting to the rich biodiversity of the oceans, rendering some areas devoid of important fish species. So, while ocean plastic and ocean trash clean-up efforts like #teamseas are at least doing something, there is much more threatening our oceans than plastic.

Hey Charlie. I just came across this pretty good channel, includes scientists "Local Motives". Thanks for your always excellent work.
Great video
Seaspiracy was an awesome movie about this.
I think a better suggestion is to support MEER Reflection Project....
Build mirrors to restore earth's energy system.
It's the only feasible solution
@@magiccloud3074 you might enjoy this video about mental health, focused on young people in the context of climate....
th-cam.com/video/v44AcIegU7g/w-d-xo.html
It's dark, but worth understanding, especially if you have young ones in your life!
I agree a video about this could be useful, but it probably needs more time than the usual 8 or 9 minutes this channel usually dedicates...
But I would say that about all things climate change, personally.
Our Changing Climate DOES NOT MISS, BABY
I dont know if you have read a book called the end of the line. If you have not I am thinking it might be worth a read. Its an older book but brings up some other really good points.
This comment is game recognizing game
Climate Town DOES NOT MISS, BABY
Climate Town best Town let's all live in Climate Town baybeee
Neither does climate town!
It’s mind-boggling how some people critisize and avoid using plastic to save the fish in the ocean, but don’t think about not eating fish to save fish.
I support Sea Shepherd because they are a direct action organization working to limit illegal fishing. Does anyone else have recommendations for good ocean charities?
I met Paul, great man, a lot more humble and shy than i expected. Support him 100%
Seaspiracy
Yeah, seaspiracy is a great place to start....
That way you don't end up donating to someone who actually supports the industry
@@nitharshnirajagopal4575 As a studying marine scientist I want to emphasize however that while Seaspiracy is a great documentary that exemplifies the issues of the ocean currently, there is a great amount of forced information that was extremely cherry-picked for the documentary. I do support the purpose of the documentary but make sure to do full research on the great parts (what their goals are and how productive they are) and the worst parts (where does their funding really go, are they supportive of all cultural sustainable practices) of different charities.
Well the problem is not only illegal fishing, but also the legal one wich is as bad or even worse.
My entire dissertation was on this, and after 11,000 words, the conclusion was basically sustainable fishing is fiction
My dad was a fisherman in the 60s he always goes on about how cod used to be poor people's food
I can't express the amount of appreciation that I have for this channel.
Such imperative information..
You guys & Second Thought are my utmost favorite channels. 💯
#ThankYou ❤
I just subscribed to Second Thought because of your comment, thank you! :-)
Same here
The only fish i consumed was tuna. I replaced it with chickpea "tuna" and i love it
also contains less mercury
@@ebbeb9827 and more fiber
We need more and more sea sanctuaries protected sea areas and ban excessive fishing.( I see in documentary tuna lobby have 10 years tuna stock but they killing much tuna)
it's really quite simple: if you want to preserve marine life, don't eat it.
Don't dump a load of plastic and other pollution into its habitat as well.
and don't be exploitative industry that destroy our nature
The opposite is also true.
If you want to prevent overpopulation of some species. Just eat them.
You gotta eat something. And no option comes with 0 impact.
@@user-tq1xt2ct8s
We can eat vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, algae and mushrooms…there’s no need to eat sentient beings who feel pain
"competitive markets create incentives to expand production regardless of resource decline"
that's the relationship between capitalism and the environment in general and is the reason as to why capitalism is inherently unsustainable.
and regulations are no solution to that. all they can do is to somewhat suppress symptoms for a period.
Truth!
Unfortunately, socialism doesn't fix this either.
Only an environmentally conscious resource based economy makes sense if we actually want nature (and therefore ourselves) to survive
@@MattAngiono I mean, that's pretty much what ecosocialism and social ecology are about. Socialism isn't just Soviet-style extractivism, it's a huge and diverse body of work and ideas.
@@ZayanK I realize that.
In many ways, I would say I believe in socialist ideas.
But in general, it's still based in profit motive and consumption driven.
Plus, it's been spread so thin in different variations that no one really knows the meaning.
I think a new system and terminology would be better that doesn't have all the baggage.
It's not just economics in need of reform either.
The meta-crisis is also about meaning and making sense of the world, so new philosophy is part of what is needed as well.
I'm not saying I have all the answers nor do I think anyone can.
We still need some kind of community or democracy that takes many cooperative minds to figure out.
It's really unprecedented that we've had this much knowledge and power with so much division between us.
The solution will also have to involve some way of us realizing that we will never be entirely happy with whatever happens.
Politics is always about perpetual annoyance, in the words of Jaron Lanier.... I think that's a pretty good assessment
Or we make it much more simple, stop eating fish. If the demand in fish goes down fishing in such high Volume isn't profitable anymore. Stop thinking that the world needs a new System, it's just the people that life in our current system who make wrong moralic decisions that harm our Planet. It's like Drugs, if governments ban it, people who really want it will find a way to get it. So we don't need regulations if more people will just make a right choice and lower their consumption.
@@MattAngiono Well as far as i know the more "general" type of socialism is not at all profit and consumption driven. It's just driven to benefit both the state and its people while the people also have more power in case something goes wrong. So i'm guessing eco-socialism is that but also with care for the envoirment so more regulations.
This is the best video I have seen as part of (or mentions) #TeamSeas. The root of the plastic problem and the ecological destruction is a symptom of over consumption and unnecessary commercialization and the only real solution is cultural shift to anti-consumerism and the end of the growth economy. Its not enough to simply pull plastic out of the ocean, we need to stop it at the source and make the world easy to live in without the need to consume so much, and eliminate the use of all single use plastics. Improving waste management in poor countries isn't as valuable as helping those countries stop producing that waste in the first place (let alone the elephant in the room, which is a lot of the garbage that makes it to those poor countries are imported from rich ones).
One fallacy I noticed within your comment is the idea of degrowth. It’s not necessary: “In the past many macroeconomists considered the need to cut emissions as a drag on the economy that lowers economic growth. This idea, that decarbonisation of our economies conflicts with economic growth, is still shared by many.12
But this is no longer the mainstream view. The latest annual IMF report estimates that policies, including carbon pricing, that mitigate climate change actually increase economic growth over the coming decades.13 This means that there is no trade-off between fighting climate change and economic growth. Fighting climate change is a way to achieve more growth.14
From the responses to my recent writing on the need of growth for ending poverty I saw that some people have not caught up with this. Fighting climate change is not just compatible with fighting poverty, the two goals - to reduce emissions and to increase economic growth - actually strengthen each other.
It is very good news that fighting climate change is expected to increase growth over the coming decades, but the benefits to climate mitigation are larger than just additional growth: it also means a modernisation of key infrastructure, faster innovation, the protection of the biosphere on our planet, and the major health benefits of reduced air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels, including millions of lives saved.
Taking both the costs and benefits into account makes a very clear argument for climate action now. Putting a price on carbon to build a low-carbon world is an investment for a much better future.”

@@SchgurmTewehr I am always going to advocate for slowing western economies regardless if its necessary or not, there are a lot of factors outside of just ecological and climate issues when it comes to our current societies dependence on consumerism, such as psychological, psychological, and equality reason. Corporations will (and do) work people to death if they are allowed to.
I am aware that if countries invested in cleaner energy sources, and new better sustainable practices that this will in the short term grow economies. That's fantastic that means that there should in theory be a lot of high paying and good jobs. At the same time even if its technically possible to correct the issue with only new technology, its way more feasible to correct the issues by ending our conspicuous consumption, and using these new technologies to produce what we need in more sustainable ways. I hope that we can make regulations to put a cap on really disgusting corporate practices, end aggressive marketing and corporate schemes that optimize for profit and ecological destruction (like planned obsolescence, stop using "green washing" campaigns as justification to pollute more and pushing the need for more and more single use items).
I am also advocating for economic stabilization increasing profit Quarter over Quarter is insane, realistically there is an economic wall somewhere and continuing to pretend like we can (as a species) solve issues that are fundamentally about over consumption by consuming more is insane. We managed to get ourselves as a species onto a path towards auto-extinction in less than 300y (really the bulk of the problems are from the last 50 years and Majority of the accumulated manufactured plastics are produced in the year you are studying it). Strangely before humanity started to extract resources without concern for the environment we weren't at risk of ecological collapse on literally every continent on the planet.
I am not stating that economic stabilization, the end of the growth economy, or economic contraction is necessary to solve the climate problem. Just that for me it is preferable and as far as I can tell its the best solution to our current set of predicaments. New technologies aren't going to slow the extinction rate of other species and bring back the marine diversity that many food webs rely on, even if they do solve the climate crisis. Conspicuous consumption is a threat to every living thing and right now we are just playing whack-a-mole of trying to use technology to solve problems we already have solutions to.
Seb Alex had some great videos about team seas
@@SchgurmTewehr did you just speak of the IMF respectfully??
“Our World in Data” published their new work on global fish stocks and overfishing some weeks ago. It’s very informative and has visualizations. I can see you included it as one of your sources in the document linked in the description. Great Video!

@@MattAngiono Go to gulag 👉
@@YourCapybaraAmigo_17yrsago the F is your problem?
@@MattAngiono 😑
Really?
@@YourCapybaraAmigo_17yrsago really... it doesn't even make sense what you're suggesting or why
Here's something interesting about all complex systems and how they can sometimes collapse. There are so called "bifurcation" points, essentially threshold levels for any parameter that define a complex system. Let's take the Atlantic cod population system as an example. If all parameters are equal but the cod population is declining steadily by say 50k per year, it might still look like it's recovering somewhat every year, but once it's passed below 200k (a hypothetical bifurcation point), it just can't reach the critical mass to bounce back and the population just quickly dies off.
There can be any number of parameters that define the system, such as the number of cods, the number of predators, sea temperature, how much fisheries catch, etc. Not all matter enough to have bifurcations, but many do. What's interesting is that a system can be stable and not have any significant shifts until one of the parameters crosses a bifurcation point, and suddenly the whole system just spirals out of control, which normally means that it vanishes.
Amazing as always!! Thanks for your videos, Charlie!!
#BoycottMeat and all other animal products of cruelty and exploitation, *including fish,* in any way possible!
@@ss9392 The fact that you have one joke signals that eating all that predatory fish has given you mercury poisoning
@@ss9392 such an old and outdated joking principle.
The best way to fight climate change!
Ah yes, attack people for what they normally eat, it's not like human nature has got the instinct to naturally do the opposite of whoever hostile to them or wants.
Absolutely!
Your videos are always so clear and make it easier to understand difficult topics. Thank you so much and keep it up
Just wanted to comment and praise the overall really good production quality of this video (and others I have seen from this channel). The motion design work at the 03:40 mark, for example, is a thing of beauty. Keep it up!
Not that it's a climate-based movie in the slightest but Jiro, Dreams of Sushi was pretty wild; in terms of the footage of these super big tuna and other giant fish that used to be harvested on the regular. Now their average size dwarfs what they could and used to be. Overharvesting to the max
When the ocean dies the human race will go extinct
The atrocities of fish extraction are what orginally radicalized me, marine biology was my childhood dream😣
Thank you for your work, your content is informative and eye-opening.
Hope you have a nice day everyone!
may I just say I absolutely love your videos! so clear and Concise! :D
see you next time!
Really great video as always - I just discovered your channel recently and I've been binge-watching all your videos! This topic is particularly relevant for me, because I've always lived close to and been in love with the ocean. Right now I work for an environmental charity, and I wanted to talk about our work because I think it builds upon the topic this video is addressing.
50% of the planet is high seas - that is, marine areas that do not belong to any country - areas beyond national jurisdiction. Under the law of the sea convention, these areas are the common heritage of mankind - so in a way they belong to everyone, but they are some of the least protected ecosystems in the world. This is because it's extremely difficult to introduce governance and management measures - because when a regional body exists over a certain area of the high seas (eg NAFO), or a particular species on the high seas (eg. ICCAT) - that body is made up of signatories of many states, and reaching consensus can be very difficult. The other problem is - there are huge governance gaps in the high seas, where no organisation has competency/authority over certain areas, and we have very little idea of what kind of exploitation is going on there.
When protection mechanisms are introduced on the high seas, the next hurdle is enforcement - it will take a huge amount of finance to introduce technologies that allow high seas areas to actually be 'patrolled' to enforce, eg. no fishing zones, or whatever kind of management is deemed necessary.
Like action on climate change, action to protect the ocean is an inherently international issue - especially for the high seas where we are yet to have a legally binding management mechanism. This is changing though - the UN is currently negotiating a legally binding instrument for the high seas - so the outcome from that will be very interesting.
One of the worst things to happen to marine ecosystems is commercial fishing. I can't imagine big fishing conglomerates stopping their destructive practices until it's no longer profitable.
Brilliant content as always my guy!
Now this is the kind of content that the whole world need to see and know more about!!! Save the planet not only for ourselves but for our children and future generations 💙
Your vids are fire my man! Keep it epic!
Another hugely informative video OCC!
Truly amazing content that is thought provoking ❤
this remind me a lot the documentary seaspiracy on netflix, just amazing keep up with the good job
When I learned about the state of the global ocean in 2014, I stopped eating fish. I'm 97% vegetarian for pollution/cruelty reasons.
What's holding you back on the last 3%?
It's not that hard to become fully vegan, and then you can much more effectively advocate for animals including fish.
People generally don't want to listen to anyone showing signs of hypocrisy, so it's much more effective when you're internally consistent.
Still, you are doing better than most, so kudos for that at least
@@magiccloud3074 how about you?
Plants are generally cheaper than animals anyway.
The only reason they sometimes aren't is subsidies, because growing them is far less intensive and determinedly to the environment.
That's why most meat is consumed in rich countries.
If you literally have no choice, then obviously I'm not speaking about you, but for everyone else, there's simply no excuse.... it's abuse
@@magiccloud3074 I think you should watch this video by a climate scientist....
th-cam.com/video/mmNcOCwtFeg/w-d-xo.html
The main thing to remember about veganism is that it's really about the animals.
What we do to them is horrific and speaking ethically, it needs to stop!
There's really no way to take a life that isn't abuse, because they obviously can't give consent, so even the very few that live good lives don't deserve what happens to them.
Most animals that are used for food are tortured their entire lives, living a real life holocaust....
I get the thing about wasting food, I think that's bad too, but once you start seeing that animals really aren't your food, that whole mentality changes.
I worked at a BBQ for a decade before this, so it's not like I was a Saint.
I just could see that being ethically consistent about protecting nature really meant not eating sentient creatures.... ever!
I hope you can see how much different it is when you commit to it.
Who knows, your change could even spark new changes in your family if they see your committed!
I know that's not likely, but you can't know until trying.
Someday, we should all see that animals don't deserve this, and if you're compassionate enough to know vegetarian is a step in the right direction, why not just go all the way?
@@magiccloud3074 I don't believe that at all. What can you not get on plant based diets than you get in a omnivorous diet? Similarly monetary reason is just so insane to list as a reason to not go vegan, you know that not eating meat is seen as a sign of poverty right? All poor people in developing countries have very meat poor diets because they can not afford meat. To say that staple plant foods are expensive compared to meat is insane. Just compare how much legumes cost compared to beef, pork, chicken etc. Veganism is not expensive. Only if you go heavy on the processed stuff and want to buy every single fake meat alternative out there. It's literally the poverty diet.
@@magiccloud3074 Then you're not vegetarian. If you eat meat on occasion you can not call yourself a vegetarian lol.
Really big problem here too. So It is illegal to use a net that can catch little fish/non mature fish.
The punishment used to be very lenient, but right now. It's become stricter. People can't complain if sea police sunk their boat.
"decimation" by definition is when something is 10% destroyed
Thank you, wanted to say this. What's happening is much, much worse than decimation...
Great video Charlie
great video, thank you!

I choose to educate myself here, thanks!
Really interesting topic
awesome thank you
Again a good video 😄
Shame that the fisheries were cut out, I was hoping to hear a talk on that.
Warmly recommended: "The once and future world" by JB MacKinnon and "Feral" by George Monbiot. Both books are about rewilding, and have a few chapters about the sea that are insanely amazing and give hope.

These videos are so important, it makes me depressed when I see how little reach they have :(
nice video
Much love 🕉️♥️ great video
Imagine if the world was not to fish for one whole month even one month can do so much for the ocean
I was waiting for a #teamseas video. Great job! 👍
I am so thankful for your channel, truth always will prevail.
Great video! However over-use of "MUH CAPITALISM" as the scapegoat will only alienate some from this critical message 🐟🐠🌊🦀
Ye, china for example. One of the biggest offenders of overfishing at this point. Its their sheer voracious appetite driving them, not "mu capitalism"
I’m seriously considering vegan seafood given just how much horrible pain fish and shellfish suffer!
Thank you for sharing.
If you don't need to to survive, DON'T EAT FISH!
Hey 👋 so i signed up with the link in the description (thank you so much for this incredible deal) and got to sign into curiosty stream but not nebula. How do I link the accounts so that i don't have to pay to sign up for Nebula?

tell the truth, in the present tense - the fish are almost all gone. Dying ? No. Dead.
@@magiccloud3074 even if it leads to depression, apathy, paranoia or what have you .. a lot of the science and reality is showing signs of near term collapse. That is why, the fish are dead (well most of them) Remember nature bats last
@@magiccloud3074 If one measures, according to Marine biologists - fish and aquatic population is falling, way faster than regeneration.
Also a lot of the alive and reproducing fish have plastic in them - perhaps we do too ?!
Thanks
At this point, ALL fishing is overfishing!
You can't really distinguish anymore.
I understand people who literally need to do it to survive, but for everyone else paying for dead fish, this is something you are contributing to directly.
You can't just blame fishermen, but must look at what drives their demand as well.
"Sustainable fishing" is a big lie by these capitalist profiteers
We need more than clean up. Humans need drastically change life style and industrial methods.
And too few really dare even consider that.
People want to change the world but won't even change what they eat for breakfast.
Industrial revolution, mass production, technological and medical advancement, lesser wars, lower disease fatality, better human survival and longer life expectancy and growing population means increasing demands for various resources from the planet.
Don't forget human greed. New iphone, new clothes, vacation home, etc
Very true, we can't face one issue while ignoring another just as big, not when either could destroy us; we must fix all these crisis threats.
is the extra content on patreon, where i pay?
Coral reefs are also endangered, mass bleaching has become a regular occurrence, we lose the reefs that would pretty much destroy entire ecosystems in the oceans
I know you like your creator friendly nebula streaming thing, but how exactly are you appeasing the yt algorithm by cutting useful information out and replacing it with an ad?
Machias Seal Island is a disputed island and water area between Maine and New Brunswick. Canada has managed the island for decades, but the US has become interested so they can exploit its natural resources and overfish the lobster protected by stricter Canadian fishing regulations :/ Also, great video just one note Newfoundland is pronounced newfinLAND, annunciating the land part, unlike Iceland or Greenland
The tragedy of the commons. 'Extract as much as you can, because if you don't someone else will".
I remember looking into this topic at one point.
The sheer insanity of thrawling the ocean for fishmeal for fish farming (and terrestrial livestock too). And how microplastics are slowly displacing the mass of plankton life in the food chain.
You are a genius.
super important
Why do you never include a link to the extended video that you advertise in your video?
It's a subscription service....
@@MattAngiono I know, I’m subscribed, like a lot of people here I’m assuming. That doesn’t really answer my question though.
Hmmm...must have finally watched Seaspiracy. Good to see you finally catching up. 😉
The ocean is dying? You are under emphasizing the problem. The planet is dying.
This is why I don’t eat fish
They should have periods where commercial fishing is illegal. Two / three year periods
Surely we can eat carp instead? It's a pest here in Australia, so the more we eat, the less the pest problem will be?
That's why I am not eating fish or any other aquatic animals. And because I like them.
It’s gonna be funny when we officially destroy the oceans , everyone gunna be like “0mgee, how did this happen!?!” *surprised pikachu face
its like kaptin kristian watched seaspiracy
This one was tough to watch.
this is rather a summary of Seaspiracy on Netflix
The thing is everyone i know barely eats fish.
When i go to supermarkets the fish shelves are full and half the fish are out of date.
Hopefully that changes....
I mean that the shelves will no longer have dead animals lining them....
If they are wasting money, that will soon follow!
Become vegan and we can maybe just maybe save this planet from ourselves
@@slimetank394I would agree that we need many solutions and I never implied it was magical....
It's just the best way to stop rainforest destruction and the habitat loss that's coming from animal farming demands.
The farms currently being used could be restored, a landmass the size of Russia, and that would sequester 16 years worth of emissions, according to a study in Nature....
The main solution we need has to deal with heat, and this can be done using mirrors, as outlined by a team at Harvard called MEER Reflection Project.
I understand the sentiment, but humans disappearing would be disastrous for the ecosystem, because of all the nuclear power stations.
These must be maintained or they will meltdown and release untold radiation that will destroy the ozone layer.
They means all life will be be under threat from the ultraviolet rays.
It's a predicament that we've created for sure, but only we can undo it.
No other species can decommission those nukes.
That's why civilization is now tied up with the wellbeing of the planet, paradoxically
@@MattAngiono i heard that animal agriculture including factory farming takes up north and south america combined so cutting meat intake is a start i barely eat meat now and when i do its organic or local as it helps smaller farmers using more sustainable methods insteads.
@@thechelsearantman6717 that's certainly true about the land use.
But here's the thing, sustainable local animal farming is usually anything but...
It takes way more land and resources to grow healthier meats, such as grass fed.
Factory farming is way more efficient resource wise, by giving animals antibiotics, and confining them on less land.
The pollutants that seep out of these places into the water is truly disgusting.
That's the primary cause of dead zones.
Thr problem is that none of it is truly sustainable on a mass scale, with over 7 billion humans to feed.
We could recreate a much healthier landscape by just ditching this cruel practice and eating plants and fungi instead.
There's such delicious alternatives now that there's little reason not to
@@MattAngiono thats why i said less of it. Tbf i probably will be vegan soon at some point anyway as im mostly plant based anyway currently
Man, i see no problem in the guy that wakes up and goes fishing to survive, anything else is greedy and dangerous for our planet. Great video by the way.
yep, the problem is overconsumption in the west that is completely unnecessary
@@pishpled1982 Exactly!
Watch DW Planet A on overfishing, our noise is killing marine life, ships dumping their bilge into the oceans, and mining the sea floor. Watch NHK Japan Zero Waste on zako, and Mossy Earth on salmon. Watch Atlas Pro on aquaculture.
Some fishers drag giant nets on the sea floor and destroy it. Some fishers accidentally catch animals they don't want in their nets and let them die instead of throwing them back into the sea right away.
Spill has videos on restaurants throwing away tons of good food daily. Jarvis Johnson has a video called wasting food for clout. Those animals were killed and farmed for nothing.
2:09 Even if people like fishers or companies were greedy and selfish, wouldn't they want to protect the planet and animals to protect their resources? And to protect people and their health and financial stability to have customers and customers to be able to afford their products.
Maybe it's kind of good if people do more things by themselves then they could see the planet and animals for themselves and take care of it more. Versus being distanced ,detached, and blindly trusting customers outsourcing things too much to companies who might be corrupt, greedy, or destroy the environment.
🔥🔥🔥
And the drought in the west is killing inland aquatic life up and down the coasts. Lake and River fish are struggling.
Our environmental knowledge has an impact on the world, good or bad.
It's so sad seeing fishers only caring about their lives other than any of the ocean creatures :((! This is just so unfair and unjust!
We cannot just invade the fishes and their lives. Humans need to change, and we all need to make big ones too. Our planet is dying, and no one is bothering to help. Everyone thinks they have better lives, but when the Earth dies out completely, we all know we won't survive.
FOR LIFE!
