Chasing Coral is a new documentary that aims to document the increasing plight of corals around the world. The new coral movie premiered this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival and it was produced by Exposure Labs, makers of the groundbreaking Chasing Ice movie.
In this day and age, it seems like all marine life from whales to sharks to all manner of fish are under increasing pressure from a changing environment. It’s only human to be more empathetic to charismatic creatures like sea turtles and manatees, but Corals are thefoundationof most shallow water tropical marine environments.
我们一直在听到一生的珊瑚漂白,但是对珊瑚的威胁比“只有”变暖的海洋还有更多的威胁。几乎所有人类活动都会对活珊瑚产生负面影响。从沿海开发项目,登录数百英里内陆,炸药钓鱼blasting and the growing ocean traffic all has a pretty bad effect on corals in natural reefs.
We don’t know when the Chasing Coral movie will be available to watch for the wider public, but we do know that Netflix has picked up the movie to stream on their online service. It’s well about time that threatened coral reefs and the animals that build them, Corals, had their own feature, and we can’t wait to see the film for ourselves. [Chasing Coral]
