to get your attention about the urgent need to start asking how the fish and seafood you're eating made its way to the table. Greta Scacchi thinks it's important enough to take part in this provocative poster campaign that asks you (yes, you) to boycott restaurants that don't support sustainable fishing practices. How can you say no when she asks all nice like that?

The poster campaign coincides with the release of The End of the Line, a documentary about the way our oceans are being destroyed by overfishing and the unsustainable harvesting of sea life. The powerful film debuted at Sundance in January and critics predict that it's about to knock the socks off the rest of the world. Greta's already lost hers.

By all accounts this is a powerful, must-see movie, likely to have an impact similar to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. However, according to AccessAtlanta it's not showing here yet, so you might want to contact some of the cooler theaters, like Tara, and let them know if you'd like to see it. You can watch the trailer at the end of this post if you want a little taste.

Of course, the movie isn't the only way to educate yourself about how to eat in ways that don't suck the ocean dry. If you ordered the Seafood Savvy pocket guide I was telling you about, you already know which sea life is okay to eat and which you should avoid. If you didn't download one, no worries; they're still available through the Georgia Aquarium web site. Or, you can get your own free watch widget through the End of the Line web site, so it will always be with you when you sit down to eat.

Once you know which fish you should avoid ordering, start asking your servers where they got the seafood they're serving, and don't settle for lame answers like "from the kitchen" or "off the truck." When you get in the habit of getting answers about the food on the menu, you can easily find out more about its environmental impact from the guide or the watch widget and make an informed decision about what to order. Or, if you follow Greta's recommendation, you'll know when to get up and leave.

Seafood lovers who want to make sustainable choices are lucky to have wild Georgia shrimp available to them right here in the state. The shrimp from our coastal waters are clean, nutritious and captured in ways that minimize harm to other sea creatures. You can find a list of restaurants and that serve them by clicking here. And you can ask for them wherever you eat.

Bon apetite!
