WWF – Nonoy and the Sea Monster

Nonoy fears a monster in the sea. It eats all the fish. For his father as a fisherman remains almost nothing. Fish provides income and nutrition for over 800 million people worldwide.

Part of a Europe-wide awareness initiative, the story of the Filipino fisherman boy tells of the social and environmental consequences of fish consumption. “Fish provide the livelihoods of more than 800 million people, especially in developing countries. Overfishing threatens them. Our conscious purchasing decisions make a difference for oceans and people. The short film gets to the heart of this in a highly emotional and visually powerful way,” says Sabine Gisch-Boie, head of the EU co-financed WWF project Fish Forward.
