I originally watched this with great interest and was shocked to hear that we don't have any parts of the ocean that are off-limits to fishing. However as I've continued my documentary watching, I learned that isn't entirely the case - for example we already have the Monterey Bay National Marine Park, protected areas off the Florida Keys, etc. That doesn't mean that Dr. Earle's ambitions are wrong, I just wish that the documentary and presentation was more honest with the viewer. Perhaps a more nuanced perspective might be that we have some but need far more, but I shouldn't have to translate for the presentation.
