Ocean with David Attenborough is a message of hope - revealing 100 years of incredible ocean discovery and why there’s nowhere more important for all life on Earth than the ocean.
During David Attenborough’s lifetime, our ocean has gone from a mystery to what we now know is the most important place on Earth. Through spectacular sequences, including coral reefs, kelp forests, mangroves, and the open ocean, the film shows the vital role of the ocean in supporting and sustaining all life on Earth. It shows how our future is intertwined with the health of the ocean, exposing the challenges facing our seas as never seen before. If we save the sea, we save our world.
After the film there will be a Q&A session for an opportunity to ask questions about issues raised in the film. Led by George Short of the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project team which is working on rewilding the Sussex seabed.
