The End of the Line

Menunkatuck Audubon Society and Audubon Connecticut sponsor the film, The End of the Line.
The End of the Line is nothing short of the inconvenient truth about the devastating effect of overfishing on the world’s ecosystems. The first major documentary to reveal the extent of the crisis facing today’s oceans, The End of the Line challenges us to imagine a world without fish…period. Filmed over two years, the documentary follows the indefatigable investigative reporter Charles Clover as he confronts the politicians and celebrity restaurateurs who exhibit little regard for the damage their policies—and their menus—are doing to the oceans. Taking us from the cod-depleted shores of the Atlantic to the Straits of Gibraltar and the coasts of Senegal, and on to the Tokyo fish market, The End of the Line sounds a powerful wake-up call to the world: If we continue fishing as we are now, we will see the end of most seafood by 2048.
Menunkatuck Audubon Society is the local chapter of the National Audubon Society. Audubon Connecticut is the state office of the National Audubon Society.
