āCHASING CORALā IS NOW ON NETFLIX. If you care at all about the oceans and climate change, PLEASE give it a watch!
Iām currently trying to find ways to use my skills as a designer to help with ocean conservation but I honestly have no idea where to start. This documentary hit so hard.
I have a saltwater tank, and I know how delicate these animals are. Iām sad to say Iāve lost many in my time as a hobbyist, so I am intimately familiar with the bleaching process and rapid tissues necrosis. These are incredible animals and itās heartrending seeing them die off in such large numbers on a global scale. It is also deeply terrifying.
Our oceans are acting as the buffer for rising temperatures, which is helpful to us temporarily but disastrous for ocean ecosystems. A 2 degree centigrade increase in temperature in the ocean is akin to a a reasonably high fever in humans - it is unsustainable and ultimately deadly for a lot of sea life that is accustomed to lower temperatures.
I cried the entire length of this documentary.
Please watch it.
