On his 99th birthday, David Attenborough’s ‘Ocean’ highlights ‘the most important place on Earth’
- On his 99th birthday in 2025, David Attenborough released Ocean, a documentary filmed amid a severe marine heatwave showing coral bleaching and ocean threats.
- The film emerged in the context of global marine decline from industrial fishing, climate change, and slow implementation of ocean protection agreements.
- Ocean features evidence of recovery in no-fishing zones like Papahānaumokuākea and Mediterranean reserves, with fish and seabird populations rebounding after protection.

- The film aims to influence governments before the United Nations Ocean Conference to fulfill pledges protecting 30% of oceans by 2030 and prompt urgent conservation action.
