Episode #19 – Dishing Dolphins With Filmmaker Jonathan Bird

Few people are as well-versed in documenting the underwater world than giant-screen filmmaker Jonathan Bird. The charismatic producer and host of award-winning web series, Jonathan Bird’s Blue World, he’s plumbed the depths of sites all over the world, from diving alongside Whale Sharks in the Galapagos and dodging Barracuda in Portugal to navigating flooded caves in Mexico.

In 2023, Bird paid a visit to Chattanooga to document our work raising marine fish species from eggs laid in our own exhibits as well as our role as one of the world’s leading freshwater aquariums. In this episode, he joins us in the studio dive cage to chat about that experience as well as to promote his fourth giant-screen film, Call of the Dolphins 3D.
