Fish on film: can it stop the waste?
From Site:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a video worth? A lot more in the case of the film we published today, showing a British trawler dumping five tonnes of perfectly good fish overboard.

The practice is legal, as the EU only sets quotas for fish landed at ports, not what is actually caught at sea. In this case, it appears the fishermen were discarding low-value small (but legal) fish in order to fill their quota with higher-value big fish.

- it all happens a long way out at sea. And that's the power of the video. At the start, a stream of dead, silvery fish slip down a chute and into the water. It goes on. And on. Seagulls gather to snap up a free lunch.

But this is apparently not rapid enough. So the men start dumping whole boxfuls of their catch over the side. And then another load comes up from the hold, and so on.

There is a terrible calm and openness about the whole operation - all in a day's work, it seems.

*Quite an eye opener of a video and well worth the watch. A problem that is not just in the UK but something that happens Internationally. Tis a crime against nature as it is based solely on greed and not on necessity. Long term destruction and short term gains. Yes all in a days work.
