My buddy and I have spent the last six months working exclusively on this documentary, commissioned by the Università Politecnica delle Marche as part of MAPA - MArine Adriatic PArk Project - Interreg Italy Croatia.

The goal is to raise public awareness about the richness of sandy environments, which have always been dismissed as barren deserts. Yet, the majority of professional fishing worldwide takes place right in these habitats. Specifically, there’s a long-standing effort to promote a Marine Protected Area in front of Mount Conero, in the Adriatic Sea.

I hope the university publishes the full video soon so I can share it with you. For now, here’s the trailer.

PS: I know I don’t need to explain this to you guys—you’re all muck diving addicts anyway! 😁

What a great project! You’re doing important service. Wishing for the best outcome for this protected area.

A fascinating project, and the quality of the footage and the way it is used is really something else.
Looking forward to seeing the full finished work 🤩

Davide,

Very nice! Hope to be able to watch the whole film soon!

David Attenborough did a video/film about the trawling fishing industry's impact on the sandy ecosystem. https://youtu.be/IzG9AwlypaY?si=eFWvrHp6TeBALWCf

Your video does a better job of highlighting the beauty of what all is there before a trawler does its damage.
