Drawing The Line is a revealing tale about Australia’s oceans and the men and women who depend upon it for their livelihood. The ocean is a fickle mistress, friend one day foe the next, but the Australian Fishing Industry faces a threat that is far greater than any they immediately face at sea.

Australia is currently in the process of implementing the world’s largest marine reserves network, in doing so the Australian Government has turned its back on the science and an industry that is a world leader in responsible fishing and environmental practices.

Drawing The Line is a warm, larger than life tale, of characters that are in a fight for the survival of their rapidly contracting industry. A story of champions, working for the betterment of the environment and a country that may well turn its back on them.

Goal

Our goal is to change public perception of the Australian seafood industry. To bridge a gap between the fishing industry and the customers who enjoy their seafood. The future of sustainable seafood food production will require the unified effort of the seafood industry, environmental groups and the consuming public. Credibility and trust will come from transparency and promotion of innovative developments within the industry. These stories are told within Drawing The Line and enable an audience to see the true faces behind the fishing industry and the environmental values inherent in their plight.

70% of seafood in Australia is imported .... likely from countries with no controls and polluted waters. The third world fisheries are feeding a large proportion of our supplies. Australia is in the process of implementing the world's largest marine park network, why? Exactly what problem is it trying to solve? Australia's fisheries are one of the world's most sustainable and scientifically managed, is the government saying they're doing a bad job?
