The documentary revolves around the environmental impact of fishing and is directed by Ali Tabrizi, a British filmmaker. Several organisations are now talking about the impact of fishing and are spreading awareness about the subject. The show also urges people to shift from animal-based food to plant-based which will help in restoring the environment. Read further about plant-based seafood.
Seaspiracy opens the gate to plant-based fish
The documentary also explores the different kind of food that can replace fish in people's diet. For example, algae-based seafood, plant-based salmon and many more. Vegans have come forward to support the film and are asking people to replace the fish with available alternatives. As per scoop.co.nz, the NZ Vegetarian Society is now encouraging people to look up the benefits of plant-based food. On the other hand, the country is looking forward to "veganise" certain food. Several restaurants in New Zealand are already offering the alternative to popular fish dishes. For example, Lord of the Fries, a popular vegan restaurant is now offering a plant-based alternative to fish and are calling it "Phish Burger".
Vegan Seafood brand Atlantic Natural Foods came forward and supported the move and called it a "timely reminder" of the impact on animals due to our day to day consumptions. According to plantbasednews.org, the brand's chairman Douglas Hines sent a statement to the website where he stated that it is our responsibility to help and reverse the harmful impact on sea creatures. He further talked about the demand for kinds of seafood and how one should switch their diet to help and sustain the environment.

I used to eat “dolphin safe” tuna before I stopped eating fish. I had NO IDEA “dolphin safe” had zero credibility until I watched #Seaspiracy By eating fish I was killing not only them, but so many others 😢🐋🦈🦭🐳🐬🐟🐙

Save our planet by removing seafood from your diet. There’s plenty of plant-based options available. #Seaspiracy is very eye opening and exposes the truth behind the fishing industries. pic.twitter.com/4rkrm46xqR
