The End of The Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World And What We Eat is a book by Charles Clover (an award-winning journalist), about the topic of overfishing, and was highly praised by several reviews.[1]
Clover, an environment editor of London's Daily Telegraph, describes how modern fishing is destroying oceans' ecosystems. He claims mankind's current fish consumption is unsustainable.[1]
Clover gets into details about what happened to New England's fishing economy, what is taking place all along Africa's coastlines, how the European fishing industry works, and specially about Japan's and Spain's treatment of the seas. Finally, he presents some ideas about how to protect the sea and with it one of the Earth's greatest biological resources.[1]
The Economist writes about it:[1]
Here is the world’s fishing industry laid bare, gutted and filleted for all to see: the greed, the folly, the waste and destruction. You will never look at a fish supper in the same way again.
