Reveiw from Observer newspaper:
"Next time someone tells you there are plenty more fish in the sea, refer them to this alarming documentary. Because there aren't. We've eaten most of them, especially bluefin tuna and Newfoundland cod."
"The film travels to China, Gibraltar, Malta, Senegal and Japan to reveal corporate iniquities and local disparities caused by overfishing. There is some impressive fishy footage, in the water and out of it, at upmarket restaurants such as Nobu."

Where are we?
'every month, on the seventh, at seven'
we generally meet every month at the same time, 7pm on the 7th at the 'Green Fish Cafe', 11 Newington Street.
Now we are well into our third year, we are concentrating on practical work through our subgroups (see to the left of this screen) but also have a monthly meeting to touch base.
New groups are hoping to get started in Allerton (contact Michael Galbraith on michael.galbraith@lycos.co.uk); Kensington (contact Karen Lucas - kazz_67@hotmail.co.uk) Toxteth at Dingle Community Learning Project (contact Alex Wilson alex@afmanagementservices.com) and North Sefton (contact Danny McGowan dannymcgowan@blueyonder.co.uk).
We began in South Liverpool, focussed on the Sefton and Princes Park areas, but we have expanded now to Wavertree, the City Centre, and Kensington, to name a few. We don't draw tight boundaries. We would LOVE to hear from groups wanting to do things in other parts of Merseyside, and are happy to help set up other more local groups. We can offer advice and support, tell you what we have done, and lend the relevant DVDs. 'Transitioning' a whole city is too big a job for any one small group alone. For ideas, see the 'recent events' section to the left of this screen.
