Cafe Scientifique is a place where, over cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore science and technology. To join in, just turn up, get a drink, and get involved in the discussion.
Cod and chips, pie and mash, whitebait, tuna steak – is it time to take them off the menu, before these fish go extinct?
As the Thames flows from its source past Southbank Centre to the North Sea, it is teeming with wildlife, including eels and whitebait. Eels are indelibly associated with East London through pie and mash, a dish of eel and potato eaten since at least the 1800s. But they are now critically endangered (pandas are merely endangered) and face extinction. Is it time for them, and other endangered fish, to go off the menu? Or should we eat them up quick, while we still can?
To mark 2010 - International Year of Biodiversity, we’re putting our role in the biodiversity of our rivers and oceans on the menu for discussion, cogitation and digestion.
