Over the course of 2022, the Wild Islands team has been working hard to gather as much footage of marine life as possible. The focus of this project has been to document the behaviour of the species in their natural habitats, as well as the ecosystems they live in. This has required a great deal of time and effort, with the team spending countless hours observing and filming the wildlife in their natural surroundings.

The film will showcase the unique behaviors and habitats of the species, highlighting their importance and why they should be cherished and protected.
