I have just finished a film about the depletion of our oceans. It is frightening to see how people are affected, everywhere, when the fish disappear. How people both lose jobs and their source of protein. But how overfishing has affected the ecosystem, in the ocean, can be a far more serious consequence – long-term.
"We know approximately how much the fish poop, how much carbon it contains and also how quickly the feces reach the bottom. Against this background, we therefore wanted to investigate how much impact commercial fishing has on carbon storage in the ocean", says Daniele Bianchi from the University of California
