  • Seaspiracy,’ the Viral New Netflix Documentary
    5 Takeaways from ‘Seaspiracy,’ the Viral New Netflix Documentary By April 15 2021 A new documentary is churning up national conversation about the environmental and ethical costs of eating fish. Seaspiracy, which debuted on March 24 and quickly became one of the most watched films on Netflix, follows filmmaker Ali Tabrizi around the world as he untangles the complex and devastating consequences of commercial fishing. The provocative documentary is the latest project from Kip Andersen, who co-produced Cowspiracy (2014) and What the Health (2017). Andersen says that as they began working on Seaspiracy, they were struck by the vast scope of industrial fishing’s impacts—not only on marine ecosystems but also potentially on the Earth’s climate, given the ocean’s key role in storing carbon. “Most of us keep the oceans out of sight, out of mind,” Andersen says, “but as [conservation activist] Paul Watson says in the film: If the ocean dies, we die.” Watch the Seaspiracy trailer below, and read on for some more key takeaways from the eye- opening new film. 1. Commercial Fishing Heavily Pollutes the Oceans with Plastic Conversation about ocean pollution has largely centered on consumer waste, particularly plastic straws. But straws account for less than 1 percent of all plastic entering the ocean. In Seaspiracy, narrator and director Tabrizi turns scrutiny toward the greatest single source of plastic in the ocean: discarded fishing gear. Fishing nets alone comprise 46 percent of the “great Pacific garbage patch.” Tabrizi notes that “longline fishing sets enough fishing lines to wrap around the entire planet 500 times every single day,” one of many staggering statistics cited in the film.

  • Soleil Ho Articles
    Is sustainable fish a scam, like Netflix documentary 'Seaspiracy' suggests? Soleil Ho, San Francisco Chronicle April 5, 2021 Updated: April 5, 2021 3 p.m. Trout fishing on Opening Day at Lake Merced, May 13, 1952 Photographer Unknown/The Chronicle Last week, I spread the good word about Sea Forager, a community-supported fisheries company that has been a balm for me the past year. Besides the high quality of the fish and seafood it delivers, a major part of why I love it is because I know where every fillet comes from, who catches it, and how they do it. After reading that newsletter and watching the Netflix documentary, “Seaspiracy,” a reader came to me with some legitimate concerns about the ethics of eating fish at all. Here’s the question: After watching “Seaspiracy” this weekend, I feel like the only solution to save our oceans is to stop eating fish entirely. I was even going to stop by my beloved Hook Fish this weekend, but didn't, because of watching that movie. I'm curious how you think about this issue of overfishing and the impact fishing is having on global warming, etc? If you know who's catching the fish, does that make it okay to you? The documentary, which debuted on the streaming service in late March, lays out myriad problems with the global fishing industry. It shows enormous bottom trawling nets destroying kelp forests and coral reefs, thus worsening the effects of climate change. And it presents fish farms as cesspools of filth and disease, producing salmon that must be artificially dyed to generate its characteristic pink flesh.

  • Neoliberalism and the Environment: Are We Aware of Appropriate Action to Save the Planet and Do We Think We Are Doing Enough?
    Communication Neoliberalism and the Environment: Are We Aware of Appropriate Action to Save the Planet and Do We Think We Are Doing Enough? Ellie-Anne Jones and Rick Stafford * Centre for Ecology, Environment and Sustainability, Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, Bournemouth University, Poole BH12 5BB, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-(0)-1202-966780 Abstract: We currently face several interlinked environmental crises, including climate change, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. However, many governments seem unwilling to take strong and immediate action to address these threats, preferring to promote neoliberal approaches to allow consumers and the general public to make environmentally friendly choices. This is despite neoliberal approaches being much less likely to be successful than government leadership, taxation, subsidies, and legislation in addressing environmental issues. In this study, we examine public perception of environmental threats and solutions to these threats in a survey mainly completed in the UK. Climate change is seen as the biggest issue, likely due to recent activist campaigns and subsequent media attention on the issue. Neoliberal attitudes, such as green consumer choices to environmental concerns, do still dominate in a series of possible presented solutions, and they score more highly than lifestyle changes, such as changing diet. However, when questioned specifically about plastic pollution, government intervention to ban all unnecessary plastic scored very strongly, Citation: Jones, E.-A.; Stafford, R. indicating a shift from a consumer-driven response.

  • Plant-Based Fish Is Rattling the Multibillion-Dollar Seafood Industry
    August 3, 2021, 8:00 PM HST Plant-Based Fish Is Rattling the Multibillion-Dollar Seafood Industry Beyond and Impossible showed the potential for plant-based proteins. Now tomatoes are coming for tuna By Irina Anghel Mimic Seafood’s Tunato nigiri. SOURCE: MIMIC SEAFOOD When a tuna marketing executive took a bite of the dehydrated tomato seasoned with olive oil, algae extract, spices, and soy sauce early last year, he was shook. “This is going to be a problem for us,” he said. At least that’s how Ida Speyer, co-founder and chief executive officer of Mimic Seafood, recalls it, designating it the highest praise she could’ve imagined for the delicate slice of tuna that—despite what the marketing executive’s taste buds indicated—contained no tuna at all. The Madrid-based startup’s Tunato product, fabricated from a specialty tomato variety grown in southern Spain that resembles sliced sushi-grade tuna in shape and size, is part of a growing class of food innovations fighting for the last empty shelf in the booming plant-based protein market: seafood. Faux fish, which Speyer concedes “maybe 5 or 10 years ago would have seemed too far out, too different, or only something for vegans,” is just a tiny fraction of the alternative protein market, dwarfed by the more mature faux meat and alt-dairy sectors. U.S. sales of plant-based seafood grew 23%, to $12 million, in 2020, compared with a traditional seafood market worth tens of billions of dollars, according to the Good Food Institute, an international nonprofit pushing for more sustainable proteins.

  • March 25, 2021 Ted Sarandos Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer Netflix Cc: Sarafina Difelice, Original Documentaries at Netflix
    March 25, 2021 Ted Sarandos Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer Netflix cc: Sarafina DiFelice, Original Documentaries at Netflix Dear Mr. Sarandos, On March 24, Netflix began to stream Seaspiracy, a vegan propaganda film masquerading as a documentary. We understand that as the owner of the virtual theater you can pick what your viewers are offered to watch and how those pieces are categorised, however in this instance you have made an error. The Merriam Webster defines a documentary as: a presentation (such as a film or novel) expressing or dealing with factual events: a documentary presentation. Something this film is clearly not. Kip Andersen, the filmmaker behind Cowspiracy and What the health? produced this piece. He is a well-known producer vegan activism films, he is not a documentarian. While we could go through the litany of the hyperbole, half-truths, mischaracterisations and convenient skips over the truth and actions being taken that are associated with Seaspiracy, and Mr. Andersen’s previous productions, this would take far longer than a short letter. Instead, please consider offering viewers a new content tab on your streaming service that would more clearly identify these productions. You might label it, for clarity “propaganda.” As defined by the Merriam Webster, Propaganda is: the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person. An accurate description of film’s planned, scripted and prescribed agenda that fails to give even a cursory glance to the ocean preservation activities being undertaken across the globe and the sustainable commercial fishing countries like Australia.
