Apocalypse 2048
Each year up to 39 million tons of bycatch are thrown back from fishing vessels into the sea dead and unused (including 300'000 whales and dolphins as well as more than 340'000 seals). Bycatch is inedible or too little fish as well as turtles, sharks, seabirds, seals, whales and dolphins, which all have to die painfully in fishing nets besides the wanted catch.
The ratio between wanted fish and bycatch is often totally absurd. For 1 ton of sole about 11 tons bycatch has to die and for 1 ton of shrimp up to 14 tons of bycatch get killed.


According to Yaqu Pacha and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums by the year 2048 the life in our oceans will be close to a total breakdown due to overfishing, killed bycatch and the chemicals that get led into the sea.
We need a new ethic and awareness for our underwater world. To stop the consumption of endangered species like sailfish, tuna or shrimp are just a few examples of what we have to do.
