Wild Fish Enthusiasts,
We couldn’t be more excited to announce award-winning producer and director Josh ‘Bones’ Murphy as the 2019 keynote speaker at the Wild Fish Soiree & Benefit Auction!
[dropcap]M[/dropcap]Murphy directed, produced, and co-wrote the feature documentary film ARTIFISHAL, Patagonia’s newest film about people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature.
Through this work and beyond, Josh has been an incredible advocate for wild fish conservation and we couldn’t be more honored to be joined by him for the evening. Join us for this 30th anniversary celebration and to hear Josh speak about this film and the important message it carries for the future of wild fish conservation.
