- Summary:
- "The Ross Sea, Antarctica is the most pristine marine ecosystem on Earth. Scientists describe it as a "living laboratory," a place that can teach us about the workings of all marine ecosystems. But the fishing industry recently found its way to the Ross Sea, targeting Antarctic toothfish and, unless fishing is stopped, the natural balance of the Ross Sea will be lost forever. Environmentalists, commercial fishers and governments are going head to head over this issue, which raises the simple ethical question: do we fish the last ocean or do we protect it?"--Container.
