Oceans of Conservation

Summary Oceans of Conservation- Three Short Films: Titans of the Coral Sea: In the brilliant turquoise waters of Papua New Guinea, the Titan people have fished the same coral reefs for over 40,000 years. The emergence of the global marketplace is creating new economic pressures on both the people and the reefs. Now, for the first time ever, they are running out of fish. This film is about stewardship, and the hope of a community taking charge of their future. Whale Sharks of Holbox: The islanders of Holbox, Mexico, facing a dwindling supply of fish, have successfully converted their economy to eco-tourism. In doing so, they have helped protect the world's largest fish, the whale shark. Inter tidal Heroes: Marine reserves are home to a variety of seaweed, crabs, sponges, sea stars, mollusks, and starfish, all living together along the crashing surf and rocky tide pools. These sanctuaries rely on the efforts of a handful of dedicated rangers, volunteers and naturalists for survival. Meet the natural heroes, and the tide pool residents, of a marine reserve in Northern CA.
