Renowned Film Producer and Educator, David Puttnam, speaks about the tradition of a sustainable inshore fishing industry in Ireland and his deep concern that we’ve lost sight of that heritage.
We are now “in danger of ruining everything” he says, through the relentless over-exploitation of our seas as highlighted by his long-time friend Sir David Attenborough’s recent film “Ocean”.
David wholeheartedly supports the Save Our Sprat campaign, calling it the “tip of a very big iceberg” in terms of the unfathomable damage unsustainable fishing like the unregulated inshore Sprat fishery in Ireland is doing to our oceans.
Let’s start to redress the balance now.
