The plight of fishermen was brought to my attention recently. The government is introducing more and more marine parks on top of the restrictions that are currently available to ensure a sustainable future for fishing. This puts more pressure on fishermen as they face more restriction in where they can fish and also makes the job of fishing even more hazardous as they have to venture to other areas. These are some of the arguments the fishermen have put forward.

The main objective with ‘Drawing The Line’ is to provide an avenue in which the average seafood consumer can relate and connect with the seafood and professional fishing industry. Through stories of hope, hardship, love and loss we aim to present the fishing industry in a very entertaining and eye opening way, in a light that will compel the Australian public to care about where their seafood comes from and what is happening to the industry that supplies it.
