"Working with the district council on the successful Food 4 Thought project was of huge benefit to the students and following this documentary with a look at the seafood industry seemed an obvious continuation of this.
"The council is a college partner and projects such as this give our students invaluable experience of work in a professional and very exciting sphere."
Speaking about what motivated him to appear in the film, Michael Caines said he was keen to support projects that encourage young people to take an interest in food and sustainability.
The double Michelin award-winner said: "The South West has some of the best seafood in Europe and I am keen to support projects which encourage people to take a more active interest in local food and sustainability."
Graham Liverton, East Devon District Council chair, said: "East Devon has a fishing heritage to be proud of.
"This film will bring this heritage into classrooms throughout the region.
"We all realise the need to provide food, including seafood, sustainably and it is fantastic to be able to showcase local examples of how this is currently being achieved to students throughout the South West.
