ONE FROZEN BREATH

International freediver and record-holder Johnathan Sunnex explores beneath the waves of the Southern Ocean – in the name of science and adventure.

INVISIBLE OCEAN

Professor Michael Depledge, founder of the European Centre for Environment and Human Health, discusses the threat of ‘the unseen’ in our interlocking waterways.

A REEF FOR SAIDA

The waters off the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon – known locally as Saida – have, for many years, been used as a dump for city waste. Following an extensive clean-up operation, local ocean activists hope to attract fish and dive tourists back to the their corner of the Mediterranean by creating an artificial reef made up of old aircraft. Will it work, or are they simply dumping more trash into the sea?

WILDERNESS LOST

Poorly-regulated, under-managed and overfished salmon farms are having a devastating impact on the Patagonian wilderness. Is one of the planet’s last great wild places at risk of being lost?

INTO THE UNKNOWN

Deep sea exploration organisation, Nekton, rlier this year embarked n a two-year quest o reveal the deepest secrets of the Indian Ocean. Programme director Oliver Steedsthe first phase of their newest mission, conducted in waters off the Seychelles.

KEEPING CHANGE AT BAY

As the world’s marine ecosystems face unprecedented pressures, marine parks able to balance the critical need for sustainability with the benefits of tourism have perhaps never been more important. In one corner of Indonesia, business and community have combined to set up a future that looks as bountiful as its past.
