Seaspiracy: A Seafood Response
Join Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association for a Zoom panel discussion on the controversial new film Seaspiracy.
Join our panel of seafood experts this FRIDAY, April 9 at 3PM EST/11AM AKST as they discuss the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy and answer your questions about seafood.
Seaspiracy (Trailer) is a 2021 Netflix original documentary about the environmental impact of fishing directed by and starring Ali Tabrizi, a British filmmaker.
The documentary about the environmental impact of commercial fishing on the has attracted celebrity endorsements and plaudits from fans. However, fishermen, nonprofits, sustainability labels, and experts have accused the film-makers of making “misleading claims”, using out-of-context interviews, and erroneous statistics.
Seaspiracy not just questions the idea of sustainable fishing, but suggests it's a myth and conspiracy.
Not surprisingly, we disagree! To put some context to the film and to share what it got right, wrong, and really, really, really wrong, MCFA has convened a panel of experts to share their thoughts on the film and answer your questions about the documentary.
