About the documentary
Octopuses are among the most intelligent and remarkable animals in the ocean. But across parts of the Mediterranean, illegal and unregulated fishing is threatening their survival while damaging the wider marine ecosystems and coastal communities that depend on healthy seas.
Before the Last Octopus takes audiences beneath the surface of this largely unseen crisis. The documentary follows the people on the front line—from fishing communities watching their catches decline to the Sea Shepherd campaigners working to remove illegal fishing gear and drive unlawful operators out of protected waters.
It is a story about what happens when a fishery is left unchecked for too long—and what it takes to turn that around before it is too late.
