Your Call 051508 The Emptying Oceans

Can you still eat seafood for dinner and sleep well at night? On the next Your Call we speak with Taras Grescoe, author of Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood. Grescoe, a travel writer, has sampled the best the world has to offer: bouillabaisse in Marseille, sushi in Tokyo. But he found that his was one mouth among way too many and his book is a wide-ranging survey of failing global fish stocks. Are calamari, oysters and swordfish off the menu forever? Can 6 billion people live well and healthy only at the expense of the seas? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Taras Grescoe in San Francisco
