Sir David Attenborough’s ‘Ocean’

Released on his 99th birthday, Ocean with David Attenborough isn’t just an awe-inspiring cinematic experience but a cultural moment through which our greatest natural history storyteller delivers his most important message ever. Save our sea, save our world.

Echoes of the sea

In Sri Lanka, catamarans and shrimp fishing have been a part of the island’s maritime history for centuries. But as climate change and human impact diminishes those shrimp populations, that cultural heritage risks being lost to the sea, forever.

To the ‘mana’ born

Thirty miles off Tahiti is an atoll known to the French Polynesians as Tetiaroa. Here, the vision of actor Marlon Brando to create a self-sustaining paradise for humans and wildlife is upheld by a symbiosis between luxury resort, The Brando and The Tetiaroa Society.

Magic of the wild

Patagonia Azul is a coastal marine zone home to more than 60 protected islands and bays serving as feeding, breeding, and nesting grounds for sea lions, orcas, Magellanic penguins, and the endangered, Chubut steamer duck.

The sperm whales of Dominica

Sperm whales are one of the hardest to study creatures. But there’s a special place on Earth where researchers have been conducting world-class studies for many years: Dominica, a tiny island country in the Lesser Antilles Archipelago.
