A Sea Change: Imagine a World Without Fish
A Sea Change: Imagine a World Without Fish
Did you know climate change affects the ocean? Some of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is dissolving into seawater. It's changing the pH, making seawater more acidic; some say "corrosive." This water actually dissolves the shells of certain shellfish and coral reefs. The effects are working their way up the food chain. A Sea Change is a new documentary about ocean acidification directed by Barbara Ettinger and produced by Sven Huseby of Niijii Films.

1. Fortunately, Mitsubishi has us covered!
Well, actually, probably not us. We won't have enough money to pay.

3. Overpopulation is the root cause of most of the worlds problems.
We are already way over the numbers this planet can sustain and still we multiply like bacteria in a warm petri dish.

5. I've watched it happen here in Puget Sound
Dams, logging, farming and development destroys the spawning streams and commercial fishermen pound away relentlessly at the remaining fish stocks. The salmon are disappearing. The groundfish are gone.
