Very nice!

The movie is finally ready.

Premiere will be on August 27, to a full house - after that, it will be initially shown in select locations throughout Mexico.

Congratulations!

PS - Pelagic Life wants to create alternative livelihoods for local fishermen by trying to stablish an ecotourism venture in Baja California. As part of their market research, they would appreciate your input here.
Thank you!

México Pelágico - Transition!

Check this out!

Like I said, these are not some naive tree huggers.

This is a well-thought-through further step forward towards Pelagic Life becoming a veritable conservation movement. Very challenging as this will mean a completely different ball game, this including a fair amount of bureaucracy and also, the headache of being accountable for other people's money and having to come up with deliverables - as it should be!

But when the Fundación of this man takes notice, you know that you're on the right trajectory!

As always - well done and wishing you the best of success!

México Pelágico!

I'm a big fan of the Pelagic Life initiative.

Well, not always - but mostly!

And I must say, I'm really looking forward to this!

I did quite a bit of diving in the Sea of Cortez in the early eighties, and much of the footage by Pelagic Life reminds me of those days: the fantastic sea life but also the merciless currents and thermoclines, the deep cobalt blue of the open ocean and then the inexplicable black but crystal clear water once you venture deeper.

Epic stuff - and PL are masters at depicting it!

And without further ado.

This is a great undertaking and if you care -and you should!- please do support it here.

Enjoy!
