Through the mediums of music, film and comedy - The Tank Bangers aim to unite marine focused conservation groups and research initiatives around the world. Together we can shout a louder message that warns against the continued mistreatment of our world.

Blue Murder: Face to Face with the Big Picture.

One thing we've learned from the making of our charity song/video "Our Blue" and being so heavily involved in marine conservation is that there are a great many groups of passionate and dedicated people out there focusing on a myriad of different issues but all sharing a common theme - the ocean and how we need to treat it a little better than we are. There are also many films documenting specific areas of marine conservation and all are inspiring and brilliant. But none of them highlight the real big picture. The combined effects of what all these groups are fighting so hard to stop. Blue Murder is an epic journey to see and document what these groups are doing, discovering their part in the big picture and how they are striving to tackle the problems faced in their particular field of conservation. The final result is a bold message that brings the viewer face to face with the big picture and, hopefully, gives them a better understanding as to their part in it. Forging unique partnerships with some of the leading names in marine research and conservation we aim to bring light the true depth of the problems faced by the world's oceans today.

 

Blue Murder will look at :

  • Over Fishing - Including bottom trawling and Factory Fishing. What are the challenges faced by sustainable fisheries and do they actually work?
  • Whaling - You thought whaling was over right? Think again. We also look at the issue of cetaceans in captivity.
  • Shark Fishing & Finning - What is really going on? What are the real figures? And does any of it really affect me? We talk to the experts in this field.
  • Global Warming - Is it real and what can we do? Is it really all that bad? Again, we talk to the experts.
  • Plastic Pollution - A huge problem that isn't going to go away. We take a good look at the great pacific garbage patch, river pollution and alternatives to plastic.
We believe it's about time that a great deal more cooperation between conservation groups was seen, wielding their collective power and influence in partnership for a better good. We hope to inspire and influence that partnership with Blue Murder while at the same time highlighting to the general viewer, in no uncertain terms, the BIG PICTURE.
