The End of The Line is the first major feature documentary revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans. The film had it's world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition. The film portrays our global love affair with fish as food and examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna brought on by increasing western demand for sushi, and the profound implications for a future world without fish which could result in massive starvation to human and animal populations.

 

The film features scientists, indigenous fishermen, and fisheries enforcement officials, and was filmed across the globe from The Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal and Alaska to the Tokyo Fish Market.

Center for Environmental Policy



The goals of the Center for Environmental Policy (CEP) at The Academy of Natural Sciences are to evaluate key issues of environmental policy, facilitate dialogues and decision-making on environmental topics, and inform the public from both an academic as well as practical perspective.  The CEP will answer the need for a non-partisan, science-based organization that is capable of accessing and guiding a myriad of public and private stakeholders.
