What suprised you the most ?

Dolphins killed next the French coast.

First of all, I did not know that there were dolphins in the French rivera. In the Atlantic ocean, many of them are caught in fishing nets every year, between 8,000 and 11,000 on all the coast. This is very sad and I’m disappointed that this secret was hidden because France is a country where freedom of the press is very important

Japan is still praticing dolphins hunting

Japan is a very developed country and I didn't thought that they were still fishing dolphins in cities like Taiji. But the most suprising element is the fact that Ali and his sister are tracked everywhere they goes in thistown. I thought Japan was more free and transparent about theirs methods.

What is the solution for the fishing industry ?

• Fishing nets make up 46% of the Great Pacific garbage patch.

National Geographic rate : A 2018 study found that synthetic fishing nets made up nearly half the mass of the Great Pacific Garbage.

• The ocean will be empty of fish by 2048

Fish & Fisheries Lab rate : scientific data indicate that 73% of Australia’s fish stocks are not declining or likely to decline.

• Around 100 million sharks are killed each year across the globe,

Science Direct rate : All the major fishing countries use destructive fishing practices that result in the killing of up to 100 million sharks every year.
