"This is harvesting, not fishing." A memorable quote from this superb documentary from Ed Conway which explores our economic relationships with the oceans and the planet. A decade ago, Charles Clover's superb "The End of the Line" brought unsustainable fishing to our notice. Now Ed Conway dissects the Tragedy of the Commons in this outstanding piece.
