Known as the American Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico is an economic and environmental treasure. Within its 600,000 square miles lie natural wonders and habitats ranging from an underwater Grand Canyon 12,000 feet deep to coral reefs and one of the largest contiguous seagrass beds in the Northern Hemisphere. For years, overfishing has been taking a toll on the world’s ninth-largest body of water, and several fish species are at critically low levels. What can be done to help protect important species? Join Sharon McBreen from Pew Environmental Group to learn about her adventures traveling along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico working to help protect the marine ecosystem and prevent overfishing.
