TRANSCRIPT:

We know it by its sound.

We know it by its feel.

We know it by its taste.

We know it by its beauty – but also its power.

And yet there’s so much we don’t know.

Covering 70 percent of the planet, the ocean connects all life on Earth.

And humanity relies upon its bounty.

But we’ve taken it for granted.

What was perceived to be infinite and indestructible, is actually vulnerable and finite.
And it’s under threat.

We are bound to the currents and systems of our ocean.
We cannot survive without it.

And we are at a crossroads.

It’s time to listen.

To understand.

To make change.

Where the waters meet the shores around the globe, traditional knowledge continues to point the way to solutions. Along with data and science, there’s a path forward.

We can still make a difference to protect this essential resource for generations yet to come.

Learn how as we journey through an audio and digital experience into the depths of our ocean.

We will hear the voices of people living along the world’s coasts and from scientists and advocates as they look to turn the tide for our collective future.
