Want to learn more about Ocean with David Attenborough and the work to save and protect our oceans?
Follow Revive Our Ocean to support the global goal to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 (also known as 30x30). Revive Our Ocean is a new model to scale coastal prosperity through effective community-led marine protection that regenerates businesses reliant on marine life: tourism inside marine protected areas and the replenished fishing around them, strengthening local economies and ensuring local livelihoods. Engage with us on Facebook and Instagram. Read inspiring stories from our Collective members on our website and stay up to date by subscribing to our newsletter.
Discover the scientific expeditions: National Geographic Pristine Seas is studying the tropical Pacific Ocean using state-of-the-art tools, including a submersible and cameras that drop to the bottom of the ocean. Follow their team’s journey as they research the ocean wilderness and work to protect it. So far, their team has helped to create 30 marine protected areas (MPAs), which cover 7 million square kilometers of ocean.
Share the discussion guide: The Discussion Guide is designed by National Geographic Pristine Seas to encourage thoughtful conversation about Ocean with David Attenborough. It covers three key themes of the documentary film: the importance of the ocean for life on Earth, the impact of industrial fishing and ocean warming on marine life, and the benefits of marine protected areas (MPAs) to wildlife, people, and our climate.
Check out our primers on ocean conservation: Pristine Seas has created Bringing the Ocean Back, an introduction to ocean conservation that you can share with your community to help them learn more about the ocean’s ability to recover through marine protected areas. Revive Our Ocean’s MPA handbook serves as a step-by-step guide for those looking to create marine protected areas in their ocean backyards.
Free content resource for ocean storytelling: Everyone, everywhere can tell stories that can inspire change for our planet by using the Open Planet library. Free for education and impact, the library supports a global community of teachers, students, non-profits, campaigners, and creatives and features over 14,000 clips of world-class, cinematic footage and trusted data on climate, nature and humanity, including the world’s ocean and coastal seas."
