ENTER our GIVEAWAY to BLUE a documentary film that takes us on a provocative journey on both land and in the sea about the health and well being of our Oceans

Diver Joel Gonzaga of the Philippine fishing boat 'Vergene' works in and around a skipjack tuna fishing net using just a single plastic air hose connected to a rusty compressor onboard the fishing boat at surface, 12 November 2012.
