Documentaries on fisheries and overfishing

This spot used to link to a number of videos. Now these have been compiled into a special page with a list (almost a top ten list..) of good documentaries and movies on the topics of overfishing and destructive fishing (and the social & environmental damages these have). Many of the videos can be streamed directly from the internet and provide good insights in the issues discussed. See: documentaries about overfishing.
