Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley Presents: Mark Kurlansky, Author of "Salt" "Cod" & "A World Without Fish" May 2, 2011

Master storyteller Kurlansky asks the question – what would our world be like without fish? In his new children’s book, he examines what’s happening to the fish we commonly eat – tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish and the domino effect it would have on our ecosystem if it disappeared in the next 50 years. Kurlansky discusses the devastating effects of industrialized fishing and shares simple rules that families can do together to help support sustainable fishing.
