The documentary Seaspiracy is currently climbing the ladder of Netflix’s most-watched shows, resulting in shoals of people on social media declaring they’re never eating fish again. It’s a sensational feature-length documentary that explores the environmental impact of fishing – fish guts and all – and the effect of humanity on the world’s seas.

It has also received a fair amount of pushback from marine organizations for being misleading, some of whom say their interviews were taken out of context. The main mantra of the documentary is that sustainable fishing is impossible. As such, the only way to save the world’s marine ecosystem is to stop eating fish completely. However, many people disagree with this interpretation. To view the full article visit IFL Science.
