Fisheries Economist Rashid Sumaila on Overfishing

Check out this 4-minute clip of Dr. Rashid Sumaila, head of the Fisheries Economics Research Unit here at the UBC Fisheries Centre (and also one of my committee members), as he discusses overfishing, subsidies, and what we can do about it. The clip is an out-take from the PBS series Strange Days on Planet Earth and Rashid also gave a nice interview for the Strange Days website. He forgot to mention his motto: Just keep pushing. (Also note that Rashid has been invited to TED Talks in Africa this fall so this won't be the last clip from him!)
