Spanning four decades of filming and fishing around the world, Al McGlashan has certainly witnessed some awe-inspiring natural events through the lens. Lead by passion, Al’s latest instalment FISH FOREVER takes us on a journey to showcase the plight some of our oceans and fisheries are facing. But don’t be fooled, Fish Forever isn’t about the doom and gloom, instead it’s a story of hope about learning and working together. ‘If we don’t understand something, how can we attempt to protect it. By sharing our journey and capturing the true beauty of the marine world we hope to inspire everyone to appreciate it and want to protect it for the future.’
Through his lifetime of adventures, Al has witnessed the undeniable changes our oceans are facing and the impact these changes are having on our fisheries. ‘The waters I am fishing today have completely changed since I was a kid and natural events, I have experienced, have disappeared…possibly forever.’
Fish Forever is a journey of discovery as Al, Auds and Coops experience the highs and lows of ambitiously attempting to deploy research tags into some of the biggest fish in the sea from our very doorstep to the depths of some of biggest submarine canyons on earth. This seven part observational documentary series really does captures truly spectacular vision in some of Australia’s most amazing locations. From kingfish migrating right into suburban Sydney to pursuing yellowfin on the high seas and even probing the depths of the deepest canyons for the elusive broadbill swordfish.
It’s a race against time to help unlock the secrets of the oceans most valuable fish but as this family discover this mission is anything but easy as they battle big seas, attacking fish, technical failures and do it all out of a small boat with their dolphin crazy dog!
The odds maybe stacked against this trio but the spectacles they witness and their successes, no matter how hard fought, helping science unlock the oceans secrets makes it all worthwhile.
