Documentaries like Netflix's Seaspiracy highlight many of the destructive practices of the global fishing industry, but are there sustainable alternatives to the industrial model? In this film, Fishing for the Future, we explore an inspiring new model created by Gravity Fishing in Aotearoa New Zealand that provides a small-scale, replicable, and sustainable alternative to industrial commercial fishing.
In many countries there’s a common belief that small-scale fishing is no longer a financially viable option, but Gravity Fishing is supporting a family and employees while adhering to a deep ethical understanding of how to operate on the seas respectfully and sustainably. And now they’re rolling out a model to enable others to do the same. We’re excited to share this story of the future of fishing and we hope you’ll be as inspired by it as we are!
