The Last Ocean is a documentary directed by Peter Young, one of the country’s leading nature cameramen.
Facing depleted fisheries everywhere else the fishing industry has found its way south to the last pristine marine ecosystem on earth and to the Antarctic toothfish (sold as Chilean seabass in up-market restaurants and delis around the world).
The fishers plan to remove 50% of the adult toothfish from the Ross Sea and in doing so will destroy the natural balance of Earth’s last untouched ocean.
Environmentalists, commercial fishers and governments are going head to head over this issue, which raises the simple ethical question: do we fish the last ocean or do we protect it?
