The End of the Line
Join SOS and our friends from Students for Environmental Action for a free screening of the award-winning film The End of the Line. The first major documentary revealing the devastating impact of overfishing on our oceans, this film delves beneath the surface of the seas to reveal a
troubling truth -- an ocean increasingly empty of fish, destroyed by
decades of over-exploitation. The End of the Line uncovers the dark ecological
story behind our love affair with fish as food and offers hope for
change. Dr. Duncan Elkins, a fisheries expert and postdoctoral associate at
UGA's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, will join us
for a film discussion.
Miller Learning Center, room 101, at 7:30 pm.
