An ominous chain unspools through the water, heralding chaos as a mud cloud erupts from net-plowed seafloors. This is industrial bottom trawling, not CGI but real and legal. 'Ocean With David Attenborough' showcases marine life destruction, urging change.
At 99, David Attenborough delivers a personal reflection on witnessing ocean discoveries. Unlike previous works, 'Ocean' employs an urgent tone, capturing mass coral bleaching, dwindling stocks, and industrial-exploitation underscoring marine vulnerability.
With World Oceans Day and the UN Ocean Conference as backdrop, the film advocates protecting 30% of oceans by 2030. The global plea is clear: Current laws fail the seas. Banning destructive practices is imperative. 'Ocean' premieres on National Geographic and streams globally soon.
