At 99, David Attenborough shares the strongest message for the ocean

But we will have our work cut out for ourselves. The ocean goes beyond what has ever seen a large part of the public from the ocean room. A marked sequence that documents the impartial destruction, which is caused by the sea floor by Boden-Trawlinghammer, which are at home in a cinematic experience.

The new film material shows how the chain that pulls the trawlers behind, searches the sea floor and forces everything in the way into the net. Those who use the practice of the soil are often only after a single type of fish. More than three quarters of this can be rejected.

“It is difficult to imagine that a wasteful way is to catch fish,” says Sir David.

It is not only a practice in the most wasteful and destructive practice, but also completely in contradiction to the needs of our species to survive the worst effects of climate change. It is a process that releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, which contributes to the warming of the planet and its ocean. It is also one of the many symptoms of an approach to the ocean, which almost loses hope for the future of life on the planet to the narrator of the film. That is, it was not what he describes as “the most remarkable discovery of everyone”. That the ocean can recover faster than we had ever imagined.

In Ocean, the world is presented to make the decision. And a view of the two path we are currently in front of us. In a way, so visceral, it is almost confusing to think of a future in which we continue the current path of destruction – the alternative is so hopeful.

For Sir David, the history of the world whale was a source of great optimism. It is estimated that 2.9 million whales were killed by the whaling industry in the 20th century. It was described by scientists as the greatest club of an animal in history, which almost all types of whale mean to extend.

“I remember that I thought,” recalls Sir David in history when only one percent of the blue whales existed. “There was no back, we had lost the big whales.”

In 1986, legislators bowed to public pressure and banned commercial whaling worldwide. The whale population has been recovered since then.

It is this Sir David and the team behind Ocean hope to emulate. Without isolating communities, the film aims to throw a blatant light on where things went wrong. But above all, it offers an insight into what we can do to correct it.

“This could be the moment of change,” he says.

The publication of the film is ahead of the World Ocean Day, the United Nations of the United Nations 2025 of the United Nations 2025, and halfway through the United Nations’ Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. If the leaders of the world decide the fate of our ocean, Ocean will show Sir David Attenborough why the recovery of the ocean for stabilizing our climate and securing a healthier future is of crucial importance for us and how the protection of the sea can be implemented immediately.

“Almost every country on earth has just agreed on paper to reach this necessary minimum and to protect a third of the ocean. Together we are now the challenge of achieving it.”

Ocean with Sir David Attenborough will be published as a global cinema event from May 8th. It will be made available on National Geographic, Disney Plus and Hulu later this year.
