An Evening with Sea Shepherd UK - Presented by Rising Tide

Before the Last Octopus is a new documentary from Sea Shepherd exposing one of the quieter crises facing the Mediterranean: illegal octopus traps that are stripping the seabed bare, largely out of sight and out of mind.

Join us at Newquay Orchard in Newquay on 13th of November, followed by a panel discussion with brilliant voices from Sea Shepherd UK.

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.

Info: Arrive on-site at Newquay Orchard - Grab a drink and some food and settle in for an evening of inspiration and captivation. Food available: a vegan hot pot using seasonal vegetables grown onsite by Newquay Orchard volunteers and students.
