Fish are Family Too

Join Coastkeeper at "The End of the Line" Film Screening this Friday
Imagine a World Without Fish

Join San Diego Coastkeeper at Hillcrest's Landmark Ken Cinema for the screening of "The End of the Line." This stunning documentary (based on the book by Charles Clover) explores the devastating impacts of overfishing and its global consequences. Learn why some scientists are predicting that if we keep fishing at the current rate the planet will run out of seafood by 2048 and what we can do to help prevent this catastrophic consequence. Stay after the film for an informative Q&A session with Coastkeeper's Director of Marine Conservation, Kate Hanley, and representatives from both WildCoast and Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The film is showing in San Diego for one week, so please mark your calendars and do not miss this must-see film. We hope to see you there!
