A staggering one third of the world’s protein comes from fish. But 11 of the world’s 15 major fishing grounds are seriously depleted. With no slackening in the pace at which the seas are being over-fished, increasingly inland freshwater fisheries are taking up the slack. This programme looks at measures underway to sustain the boom in fish farming.

Earth Report travels to over a dozen locations to report on the state of global fisheries. This first installment delivers a story that should ring alarm bells throughout the world. Almost without exception, our fishing grounds are being recklessly exploited. Indian fishermen use nets with mesh so fine that even seawater only trickles out and in the Mediterranean it may already be too late for the tuna. This self-destructive approach is exemplified by a story from Bali – new hotels were made from local coral. When the coral went, so did the fish. When the tourists went snorkeling there were no fish to see.

‘Clean Your Act’ is a film about alternative ways to treat wastewater. It is about how communities, institutions and individual households have begun literally cleaning up their act by recycling their wastewater using technologies that match the scale of their need. The film’s crew travelled from Puducherry to Pune, from Indore to Ujjain, and from Agra to Delhi to capture the various technologies at work, each unique and different, but all effective. The film’s purpose is to break out of STP-dependence. Whether you are a householder, architect, engineer or professional interested in spreading the word on ecological sanitation, the film will serve the purpose.
