The Tiny Fish Holding the Ocean Together

Forage fish may be small, but they help power the entire ocean food web. Species like sardines, anchovies, herring, capelin, and sand lance feed whales, seabirds, tuna, salmon, and many other marine predators.

In this episode of  How to Protect the Ocean , Andrew Lewin explains why these overlooked fish matter so much, what happens when they decline, and why industrial fishing, climate change, and weak ecosystem-based fisheries decisions can put entire marine ecosystems at risk.

Protecting the ocean is not only about saving the biggest animals. Sometimes, it starts with protecting the smallest fish.
