Volume 3

We think of the ocean as a quiet place. It isn't. But the noisiest creature in the seven seas aren't whales - it's us humans: Marine vessels, sonic probing and military tests erupt and disrupt every life in the ocean, leading to mass stranding of whales and more. Sonic Sea is about protecting life in our waters from the destructive effects of oceanic noise pollution.

We follow the exceptional windsurfer on his mission to tame „his own private monster“.

Sharks have fascinated both Joe Romeiro and Bill Fisher since childhood. They each learned to dive as a tool to experience the power and mystery of sharks first hand. After meeting on a shark diving expedition, they teamed up to produce films that help aid in the conservation of sharks and the marine environment. They want to use their experiences to help show others that many species of sharks are threatened, and some even face extinction. Joe and Bill portray sharks the way they see them, as beautiful and awe inspiring creatures that are an important and critical element of our oceans eco-system.
