Eleven-time Emmy Award-winning producer and writer David E. Kelley is working on his first-ever docuseries, aligning with Andrew Zimmern and Intuitive Content for Eating Up the Oceans: How Do We Save Our Seas?

Exploring how climate change threatens the very existence of marine life and our own, Eating Up the Oceans confronts the issues that arise when what we eat clashes with the health of our oceans. The six-part docuseries is guided by the inspiring stories of frontline experts who are working across multiple disciplines to affect change and curtail an impending crisis.

Kelley and Zimmern, a four-time James Beard Award and Emmy Award winner, are collaborating with sustainable seafood expert and founder of Fed by Blue, Jennifer Bushman.

The trio has tapped Emmy-winning actress and activist Julia Ormond to narrate the program.

Eating Up the Oceans: How Do We Save Our Seas? is produced by Intuitive Content and David E. Kelley Productions with both Zimmern and Kelley serving as executive producers.

“We have the power to course our path by reconsidering behaviors that can help restore our delicate balance,” said Zimmern, CEO of Intuitive Content. “David and I share a passion for food and the health of our marine ecosystems and are conveying a message of hope through this series: We absolutely can replenish our oceans while also sustainably nourishing the world.”

“It’s time to tell the stories of the inspiring visionaries, the water farmers, fishers, scientists and activists that are already creating pathways to restore abundance to our oceans,” added Kelley.

Bushman said: “The narrative of sustainability and biodiversity, conservation and revitalization, equity and profit, indigenous culture and innovation, offer a whole new understanding of our role in the health of our oceans. Each episode dives deep into a global question concerning the world’s historic and growing reliance on marine resources, particularly as a food source. Viewers witness first-person stories that connect them with those most impacted by our stressed marine waters.”
