DESCRIPTION:Film evenings begin with optional potluck refreshments and social hour at  
 6:30 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after 
 the film.\n\nTHE END OF THE LINE\nby Rupert Murray\n\nFish stocks in the 
 ocean are at dangerously low levels, with many species very close to 
 extinction.  This alarming film tells you exactly what has happened, how 
 come we didn't know about this before, and what we need to do about it -- 
 quickly.  The film lays the responsibility for over-fishing the oceans 
 squarely on consumers who innocently buy endangered fish, politicians who 
 ignore the advice and pleas of scientists, fisherfolks who break quotas and 
 fish illegally, and the global fishing industry that is slow to react to an 
 impending disaster.\n\nThe film points to solutions that are simple and 
 doable;  but political will and activism are crucial to solve this 
 international problem.  We need to control fishing by reducing the number 
 of fishing boats across the world, protect large areas of the ocean through 
 a network of marine reserves off limits to fishing, and educate consumers 
 that they have a choice by purchasing fish from independently certified 
 sustainable fisheries.\n\nWe need to become conscious about our choice of 
 fish, how to eat sustainable fish stocks.  For example eating farmed fish 
 is not such a good idea because they are not produced sustainably, it takes 
 5 kg of little fish to produce 1 kg of salmon.  Better to eat the small 
 fish ourselves.  The larger fish are at such dangerously low levels they 
 may never recover.  Many governments are not monitoring or policing their 
 fishing industries and the Japanese are raping the oceans and freezing what 
 bluefin tuna are left so they can get more money for them later, when the 
 supply dries up which will be soon.  We must stop eating the wrong fish 
 right away, for sure! See the film and join the campaign.  What will be 
 left for our children by 2050:  sterile oceans where algae and jellyfish 
 will thrive.  This will be our heritage.\n\nWheelchair accessible around 
 the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n\n
