Apart from the technical side of making a series of films like these, there is also the human side the requires time and a sensitive touch.

The aim of traveling through the Mediterranean to document so many research programs was to paint a picture of conservation topics that affect cetaceans local and the efforts to protect them on a regional level. After spending three months in the Mediterranan in 2007, and on previous research programs in 2004, I am convinced the lack of public awareness is a major hurdle in the effort to help protect and conserve cetaceans in this region.

What an epic journey the past few months have been. After travelling thousands of kilometers by plane, bus, car, train and by boat filming in Spain, Italy, France, Greece and Denmark, I am back in Melbourne, reviewing tapes, writing and beginning to edit the first components of ‘Whales of an Ancient Sea”.
