ANTARCTICA: COUSTEAU’S CALL
This October, the countries responsible for protecting the Southern Ocean will meet to vote on protecting 4 million km2 of ocean. Here, Philippe Cousteau calls for action, and invites you to join the chorus.
sHARK ISLAND
At the southern tip of the Maldives archipelago is an island like no other: Fuvahmulah. Like many of this planet’s wild blue spaces, its balance is under threat.
SHELL MONEY
The ocean is life. It provides the world with food, jobs, oxygen. For the Tolai people in Papua new Guinea, it also creates their currency.
TITAN MEETS TITANIC
History was made on July 10, 2021, when Stockton Rush and his team at OceanGate reached the Titanic, at a depth of approximately 4,000 metres, in Titan, the only submersible of its kind.
