Eleven
foreign countries and eight major U.S. cities were visited to acquire
footage of the billfish and the people on the front lines of billfish
issues and business. As a result, among the people interviewed and
filmed were: fisheries scientists, equipment manufacturers, tournaments
organizers, boat builders, conservationists, environmentalist, advocates,
charter boat operators, commercial fishing operators, fishery managers
and regulators and good old fashioned, passionate supporters of the billfish.
Each offered their own unique perspective of the issue, and many with
valid concerns about protecting their interest or cultural heritage.
