The MARTINZ Critical Review - Ep #10 - Our global fisheries and the giant Ponzi scheme of the industrial fishing complex; - with Dr Daniel Pauly Fisheries Biologist

Our guest for today’s episode is the highly esteemed fisheries biologist Dr. Daniel Pauly whom is arguably the world’s most prolific and widely cited living fisheries scientist.  He has published over 1000 scientific articles, and has had a hand in producing over 30 books and reports.  His vast body of research is used throughout the planet, and he has supervised students in four languages across five continents.  Dr Pauly is presently based out of the University of British Columbia as the Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us project, devoted to studying, documenting and promoting policies to mitigate the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems.  In this episode we cover the “shifting baseline syndrome”, why humanity is "fishing down the marine food web", the giant Ponzi scheme of the industrial fishing complex, and Dr Pauly offers potential solutions to drag ourselves out of this situation.
