With overfishing now reaching global proportions, industrial-scale cruelty as a result of indiscriminate fishing techniques and environmental destruction caused by fish farming, should one eat fish at all? Watch our 6 min animation film at http://vimeo.com/66514539 http://www.theblackfish.org

An estimated US $25-$29 billion in government subsidies every year continues to fund the global fishing industry. These subsidies help build new ships, increase catching capacity and modernize the seafood processing efficiency. All this to the demise of the fragile marine environment, which is already heavily overfished. The EU parliament will vote tomorrow on controversial plans to allocate a further €1.6bn in subsidies to EU fishing companies. Make sure it is not passed.

2 trillion sea animals caught from the ocean every year. 40% of them are trashed as waste. Find out more shocking facts about industrial overfishing in our new animation http://www.theblackfish.org/film - illustration by Leo de Wijs Illustration / mrlee.tv

Go Green Tip 23: Don’t eat fish

Seafood is a popular, healthy, sensible and guilt-free choice… or is it? 80% of the world fish stocks are over exploited or exploited to their maximum & this could cause unacceptable damage to the oceans ecosystem with potential long-term negative effects.

Dolphins, marine turtles, seabirds, sharks, juvenile fish, fish with little commercial value, corals, starfish - billions of unwanted animals are caught every year by fishing boats then discarded dead or dying back into the ocean. Known as bycatch, the incidental capture of these so-called “non-target species" is a major fisheries management problem, wasting fishermen’s time and hundreds of millions of dollars in damaged gear and inefficient fishing methods.

It’s also one of the greatest threats to the marine environment, wasting a valuable natural resource and causing dramatic declines in populations of many marine species. As such, WWF is working on bycatch as a priority conservation issue.

Do you live in the UK or Ireland? If yes, then we have some interesting news for you!

Our good friends The Black Fish are going on a tour across the UK and Ireland! Turn Tides has offered to help plan things on the beautiful island of Ireland, and as a result we’ve managed to land an incredible venue right in the heart of Dublin city!

The Black Fish will be showing their new animated film on the destruction that over fishing causes.

They will be discussing how YOU can get involved in marine conservation.

They will be giving you the opportunity to meet marine activist members in your locality. (And if you’re from Dublin who knows, maybe you’ll even get to meet Turn Tides members!)

It will be totally and completely FREE, and open to EVERYONE!

Check out if The Black Fish are touring near you HERE, and stay tuned for the tour dates to come!

Joanna Hurford collected so much trash she decided to get creative and raise awareness about the rubbish issue and marine debris worldwide.

In the true spirit of recycling old trash Joanna reused 217 bottle caps and 63 lighters to create a Turtle Artwork for World Ocean Day. The event also showcased the effects of bycatch and pollution on our fragile marine environment. Using beautifully painted recycled plastic bottles and plastic bags, fish were shaped and attached to a net, to highlight a common fishing practice called net fishing. Net fishing threatens already endangered marine animals frequently seen around the world, like sharks and turtles, through entanglement, drowning, and discarding non-targeted species that are caught back into the ocean.

“On my days off, I collected marine debris washed onto the beach. Marine debris can take hundreds of years to break down and until it does, it damages the aquatic life and the marine environment. I wanted to show just how many ‘silent killers’ are polluting our island paradise,” said Joanna.

Trash is just one of the many things that thretan to destroy our oceans, another is overfishing. Help us in our struggle to save the biggest ecosysteme in the world. http://www.theblackfish.org Source: http://www.turntides.org
