Seaspiracy

The film explores environmental issues affecting oceans, including plastic pollution, ghost nets and overfishing,[2] and argues that commercial fisheries are the main driver of marine ecosystem destruction.[3] The film rejects the concept of sustainable fishing and criticises several marine conservation organisations, including the Earth Island Institute and its dolphin safe label[4] and the sustainable seafood certifications of the Marine Stewardship Council.[5] It also criticises efforts by organisations to reduce household plastic, contrasting their impact with that of ghost nets.[6] It accuses these initiatives of being a cover-up for the environmental impact of fishing and corruption in the fishing industry.\[7]\[8] _Seaspiracy_ concludes by supporting marine reserves and for ending fish consumption.[9] The film was produced by Kip Andersen, director of the documentary _Cowspiracy,[10]_ and used the same production team as this previous film. Initial financial support was provided by British entrepreneur Dale Vince, and it was acquired by Netflix in 2020.
