All language subtitles for Le Meraviglie Del Mare-Wonders of the Sea (2018).1080p.H264.italian.english.Ac3-5.1.sub.ita-MIRCrew-en

Hello everyone!
During the years,

I have participated in projects of all kinds,
but I've never done this:

the narrator of a documentary film.

So why now?
Why this movie?

Because it is an important work,
with an important message,

directed by a man whom I have admired for years,
Jean-Michel Cousteau.

The first time I saw the video,
I must admit I was impressed ...

and did I understand that I wanted to give my contribution?

And this is precisely the intention
by Jean-Michel: raising awareness.

Jean-Michel reminds us that ...

we all have to contribute in a concrete way
to real change.

That the decisions of political leaders
and individual and personal choices

determine the future of the oceans
and our survival on the planet earth.

As governor
and now as a private citizen,

I also fight for a radical change
to protect the environment,

to raise awareness
all on this delicate subject.

Therefore, it is a privilege to lend my voice
to this cinematic experience.

Jean-Michel has created a statement
of love to the magnificence of the ocean.

Because, like his father Jacques Cousteau,

Jean-Michel is convinced that:
"It is necessary to protect what you love".

And he's absolutely right about that!

So without hesitation let's fall in love
madly of the wonders of the sea.

He was Cousteau. Jacques Cousteau.
An ocean pioneer.

In the 40s, when the equipment
underwater was cumbersome and rudimentary,

Cousteau contributed
to the invention of the aqua-lung

which allowed diving
longer and deeper,

paving the way for exploration
and a new genre of documentaries.

It has also made progress
in the art of underwater video shooting.

Together, these innovations
allowed the Cousteau team

to go into unexplored territories,

to capture images never seen before

and to share them with millions of people
worldwide.

We owe a great deal to exploratory work
by Jacques Cousteau.

And in a sense,
the modern divers are all his children.

But I am the firstborn.

I'm Jean Michel Cousteau.

I was only 7 years old and I was thin
like my father,

when my mother Simone
I put the fins on my feet

and my father stared at me
the tank on the back with a strap,

pushing me into the sea.

And my life changed forever.

From that moment,
I also became a diver.

I was also a Cousteau.

And like me, my children too, Céline
and Fabien, they are without doubt real Cousteau.

They work to raise awareness
and influence public opinion

through their shipments
and their movies.

But on this occasion,
I could not not involve them,

it was necessary to join forces.

Years have passed since ours
last project together.

A journey of 8,000 miles awaits us.

We will explore some of the main ones
ocean habitats

and we'll start right here,
from the Fiji islands.

The marine biologist Holly Lohuis
and the cameraman Gavin McKinney

complete the team
and they are practically part of the family.

Jean-Michel is thrilled
for the new technology,

and I believe this feeds a lot
his enthusiasm.

The purpose is to film
not just the great forms of life,

but also smaller creatures
with their most subtle movements

unknown even to the most experienced divers.

The coral reef.

If we compare the infinite
ocean water expanses

with the sandy ones of the desert,
the coral reef would be an oasis.

And when the barrier is flourishing and luxuriant,
it is a paradise that teems with life.

But what are coral reefs?

They look like rock formations, but they are alive!

They look like plants,
but in reality they are animals.

Tiny polypoid sea creatures
gathered in colonies

that form a skeleton based on
calcium carbonate with protective function.

The sedimentation of calcareous skeletons

it only increases over the centuries
these suggestive formations.

Today we know about 800 different species
of corals, each one different from the other.

Some build
limestone castles around him,

others have soft tentacles that
they sway gently like grass in the wind.

And others, like these sea fans,

they remind us of the leaves of an exotic plant

or this euryaline.

But they are all animals.

They are discrete predators
that move and hunt

not only for necessity, but also for
to ensure the survival of the ocean.

The variety of shapes and colors of corals
It is surprising.

Their movements seem
a passive fluctuation like straw in the wind,

but these are the voluntary acts

of a ravenous predator
intent on devouring the prey.

Usually the attention is entirely directed
towards larger species,

the adorable dolphins, the feared sharks,
whales and walruses.

But this time I wanted to capture it
the little wonders,

not just for their splendor,
but also for their meaning.

Admire the worm "Christmas Tree".

They are minute and timid, but very showy.

The worm "Christmas tree",
as well as many other sea creatures,

owes its name to its appearance.

However this creature
it is more worm than tree.

And to feed himself, he explains his corollas
spiral and filters plankton from the current.

Plancton means "wandering"
or "going astray".

And indicates minute or microscopic organisms.

For many of the inhabitants settled
of the barrier,

like this coral tridacna
or these spirographs,

floating food is a necessity.

Despite the size,
could be difficult to spot

in its natural context on the seabed.

But here in front of me,
there is a giant tridacna.

The shellfish we eat
they weigh about 30 to 60 grams.

A giant tridacna can weigh up
over 2 tons and exceed the century of life.

practically immobile, which is not able
neither to hunt nor to grab,

manages to reach similar dimensions.

His diet has two specialties:

the plankton that filters from the current

and the food produced from algae
present inside his coat.

Tridacne are born males
and then they become females;

their reproduction
takes place asexually,

by dispersing the eggs
and seminal fluid in the current

without ever meeting the partner.

Survival as such
depends on two factors.

The possibility of eating
and not to be eaten.

Nature has endowed these creatures

of survival strategies
creative and multiple,

including cunning
to make unusual alliances.

The sea anemone may appear defenseless,

even attractive clinging
on the coral reef.

But when a little creature
passes by,

traps it in its venomous tentacles,
it drags and consumes it.

With the exception of this fish:
the clown fish,

which is covered by a layer of mucus
protective that makes it immune to its poison.

The clown fish therefore lives
in the crown of the anemone that offers him shelter

and in return keeps the fish away
trying to eat his tentacles.

This symbiotic alliance is only one
of the many that are on the barrier.

A similar symbiosis takes place
also among another species of anemone

and a colorful Atlantic crustacean
known as ancylomenes pedersoni.

This shrimp cleaner is not by nature
immune to the poison of anemone,

but has developed a remarkable tolerance

rubbing against its tentacles
for a reasonable period of time.

This shrimp cleaner
firmly anchored to the fatal tentacles

seems to mock whoever passes by
saying: "Danger is my trade."

As a child, I dreamed
to build fantastic submerged cities

and I even studied architecture
to realize my dream.

But how can you compete?
with the magnificence of the barrier,

with the masterful touch of nature
in every small detail?

And here is an example, the flat worm.

They are small and colorful
magic barrier carpets.

As well as colorful and flexible
nudibranchs.

The word nudibranch means
"With the bare gill",

represented by the posterior cutaneous crest.

There are over 2,000 species of nudibranchs,
none of which is particularly fast.

The nudibranchs lay their eggs
in a variety of fascinating forms.

This ribbon-like veiling
adjacent to the rock contains the eggs,

in order to feed and protect them.

We gather here to observe
another curious inhabitant of the barrier:

the band cleaner shrimp.

It feeds on food scraps,

as well as parasites, fungi
and damaged fabrics

which removes from fish
who come to him for personal care.

The survival strategy
of the band cleaner shrimp,

as well as everyone's
shrimp cleaners in general,

consists in rendering services
precious and indispensable,

attracting attention with bright colors
and very long antennas.

When it finds the ideal home,
remains permanent for over a year

and when he meets true love,

he remains faithful to him all his life.

The health of the coral reef
it is based on a delicate ecological balance.

An altered parameter
can have unpredictable consequences.

An example of this is
the star crown of thorns.

This starfish has a maximum
21 arms with poisonous spines;

climbs, adhering perfectly
to the irregular substrates of the barrier.

The star feeds here
of coral polyps,

leaving in its passage
a white and notched barrier.

Usually, these stars
do not constitute a danger.

But in recent years,
the population has increased alarmingly,

threatening the life of many barriers.

Among the main causes
there is the disappearance of some of his predators.

But what happened to these animals?

Maybe on some bookstore.

The splendid shiny newt
highly sought after by tourists,

is one of the few inhabitants of the barrier
to feed on the crown star of thorns.

And as long as you collect
dust on the shelves,

will not help to restore
the delicate natural balance.

Today is a day of arrivals.

We are waiting for a marine ecologist,

a countless colleague of mine
expeditions in these years,

but above all a dear friend,
Dr. Richard Murphy.

He joined us in Fiji
to prepare us for a night dive

and at a pivotal meeting:
with the base of the food chain.

The basis of everything is phytoplankton,
simple and tiny organisms.

And yet in biological and environmental terms,
they are giants.

There are thousands of phytoplankton varieties
from which almost every marine form depends.

Like us!

All over the world, phytoplankton
produces more than twice as much oxygen

and absorbs twice as much CO2
compared to the Amazon forest.

In practice, over half of the oxygen
of the planet derives from these micro organisms.

Which means every breath of air
that we breathe is also a gift from the ocean.

AI second place in the food chain
there is the zooplankton,

bizarre and mysterious creatures
which I hope to meet tonight.

Night dives are special.

There is no fear, but more attention
and an extra thrill.

The seabed
it's about 1,800 meters below us.

On this moonless night,
there will be absolute darkness from every direction.

And we'll just see that
that our torch will illuminate.

The risk is to go down too much
without realizing it.

And to be exposed
to any danger without perceiving it.

Why do we do this?
To assist, of course, in similar shows.

This is the most impressive migration
of any living creature on earth.

And it repeats itself every single night.

Zooplankton floats beyond the bottom

and is totally at the mercy of the currents

and the voracity of sea creatures
that dominate it in the food chain.

As well as the phytoplankton they eat,

many species of zooplankton
they are microscopic.

However, this is not the case with these jellyfish
comb, whose eyelashes look like fuzz

refract the light of our torches.

I'm probably
the most delicate creatures on the planet.

Sparkling constellations.

A nebula.

The sputnik.

I wonder if this is the last frontier.

Human beings have walked
more on the moon than on the ocean floor.

We know more about the surface of Mars than about
submerged substrate of our own planet.

And the forms of life?

Millions of species await
to be discovered by the abyss

of this interior space.

In this context,
it is easy to lose track of time.

Zooplankton not only hypnotizes us,
but it is also difficult to film.

And this is how more time passes than necessary,

which forces us to go up a stage
longer than we had anticipated.

A "lift stage"
it is a planned stop during the ascent

to avoid decompression sickness
or even death.

And fortunately there is a lot to see
while we wait for 5 meters.

The qualms are known parasites.

Their peculiarity is to have
a sort of suction cup on the back,

which allows it to stick
to the belly of larger marine animals,

to get a ride, an easy meal
or simply protection.

This tortoise looks upset,
or maybe it's just intolerant

because the remora tries to remove them
a parasite or tissue from the eye.

A tribulation for one
and a pleasure for the other.

Even during the seduction ritual
and courtship dance,

the hesitations do not give up.

In daylight,
there are too many distractions.

In total darkness, we pause
on the details, the colors are more intense

and what is known appears different.

Here entwined on a coral branch,
we find a true creature of the night

living in Fiji waters,
in the Atlantic and in many other areas:

the basket star.

They have no heart,
neither blood nor brain.

But they have a mouth and instinct
to fill it with the passage of plankton.

And if necessary, this creature
he manages to advance with the help of his arms

to get a better position
in favor of current.

Nearby,

an enigmatic encounter between two arrow crabs
attracts our interest

and makes us ask
if the two hate each other or love each other.

A duel or a dance?

Showdown or exhibitionism?

That it was a fight
or a courtship,

in the end everything turns out for the best.

But wasn't it time for dinner?

And when the barrier is healthy,
there is plenty for everyone.

We cross the equator,
the international date change line

and almost the entire Pacific Ocean
towards the coldest waters of California

towards the next oceanic habitat
which my father chose to explore.

And the dolphins escort us,

how they used to do
also with my father's ship, the Calypso.

Dolphins are
the good ambassadors of the Ocean:

carefree, friendly
and with a sort of smile that seems to say

"Come with us, but come in peace."

Ok, we could look at you
a little while you play,

but then we must resume the journey,
I have an important appointment.

- What date do you have?
- Ah, you'll see!

The next destination will show you
the great diversity of habitats.

Coral reefs are colonies
of slow-growing animals.

While the Kelp forest is an ecosystem
rapidly evolving giant seaweeds.

Off the coast of California,
the conditions are optimal:

cold, relatively low waters
and rich in nutrients and sunlight.

The coral reef
that we explored in Fiji

it can grow by 5 or maybe 10 cm a year.

The Kelp we see here
it grows over 54 cm a day.

Its dimensions may vary
and even reach 60 meters in length,

like a giant sequoia.

Kelp forests provide food
and protection for a wide variety of species.

From sea urchins, to snails,
from seals to sea lions

and occasionally even to the gray whale.

These balls filled with gas allow
with kelp leaves

to come almost to the surface.

Through photosynthesis, kelp
transfers energy and nutrients to the sea.

Not far from the Kelp forest
of the island of Catalina,

the squid are engaged in a hectic
and chaotic mating ritual.

Here, I witnessed for the first time
to this same scene with my father,

over 50 years ago.

It takes place only once a year,
in winter

and I was afraid to arrive too early
or too late.

But fortunately we are on time
to admire this reproductive show.

These squids live only one year,

therefore this is their only chance
of reproduction.

The fervor of mating
bears fruit.

The backdrop is covered with millions
of gelatinous wrappings.

Each capsule contains hundreds of eggs.

The feeding of many species,
including the human being, it depends on the squid.

In some areas,
fishing is on the rise

but the real goal
is a sustainable withdrawal on a global scale.

The real goal is only and only
sustainability.

When I look at the immensity of the ocean
and the pristine coastal areas,

I think of other seas,
to other coasts and other times,

of innocence and let's say it openly
of ignorance.

When my father for the first time
pushed me overboard,

we all thought we could pour out
a little all overboard,

that the oceans were
bottomless receptacles

in which to throw away any waste
that we did not want on earth.

But our expeditions have revealed
a much more disconcerting truth:

the seas and waterways around the world
I'm in danger.

We have discovered that our blue planet
it is nothing but a rocky sphere

with a thin, very thin
salt water layer

and an even more limited one
fresh water reserve.

And that only these precious drops
prevent extinction.

Coasting along the Pacific coast
we enter the sea of Cortés, in Mexico.

With its incomparable biodiversity,

this place was defined
once by my father how:

"The Aquarium of the World".

In the sea of Cortés
6 thousand species have been cataloged,

and perhaps many thousands more
waiting to be discovered.

However even here the appearance deceives.

Intensive fishing has impoverished these waters
of tuna, red snappers and sharks,

present numerous in this area
until recently.

The contrasts are clear.

From our submerged world, we land
on the semi-arid land of San José Island.

From an immersion in the florid vegetation
of the Kelp forest,

to a walk among austere cactus.

The presence or absence of water
determines almost everything.

These giant cacti can arrive
up to 18 meters high

and survive in this hostile climate
for a good 300 years.

So these plants were already here
when George Washington was born.

They are greedy but efficient,
and collect every single drop of rain,

preserving it for the driest days.

Across the planet,
life is always connected to water.

And there is only one big cycle.

The rains that fall on the highest peaks

erode the earth's surface
to be able to return to the sea.

Suddenly, everything appears smaller
it's easier.

A rubber boat, a diving mask
and the three of us together.

My thoughts turn to labyrinth
of minor waterways of the Amazon

where I recently concluded an expedition.

And therefore, far from the open ocean
of the Cousteau.

The plans of my father, my brother
and mine are so different,

yet somehow interconnected.

Just like the separate arteries
of these creeks:

they are born and return to the ocean.

Hidden among the marshes of the extremity
southern of the island of San José

there is a secret world,
that teems with life.

Here we find our next habitat:
mangroves.

Just below the water surface,
we admire mangroves.

These plants succeed
to survive in salt water

because they manage to eliminate
excess salt.

These roots,
tangled and submerged,

they offer an intricate shelter
rich in nutrients.

Some creatures will never leave
this habitat,

while for many other species
life begins here

and will continue on the barrier
or in the open ocean.

These pretty algae are organisms
unicellular known as acetabularia.

The study of these plants

made it possible to make great progress
in the knowledge of DNA, almost a century ago.

Sea cucumbers are sea sweepers:
They patrol the bottom looking for debris.

The mouth is equipped with tentacles,

able to pick up and collect
any kind of organic residue.

The size of sea cucumbers can
vary from a few centimeters to 3 meters.

You can look but not touch.

Perhaps eye contact is possible
but with caution.

Why stone fish
it is one of the most poisonous in the world.

It can easily be mistaken for a rock,
inadvertently placing a hand on it.

At that point the spines would emit
all their potentially lethal poison.

This is a shell,
of a large sea slug,

and comes from the tropical Atlantic
North Western.

Strong currents must have brought it here.

This is a hermit crab. Worldwide,
there are over a thousand varieties.

In common they have the inability
to build their own shell.

So they occupy the empty ones.

But growing up, I am constantly searching
of new and more comfortable shells.

The hermit crab has spotted
an inverted shell.

Only very few hermit crabs are
ready to kill for a bigger house.

Are we going to see the worst?

The hermit crab must act quickly
if you really want to move.

The snail can protect itself
only if it manages to overturn the shell.

The Hermit Crab makes his move.

Rotation is a success.
The snail is safe

and the hermit crab will have to postpone the move.

The infinite variety of forms and functions
they are like pieces of an intricate puzzle.

And when all the species are present,
the ecosystem is perfect.

And when all the ecosystems are flourishing,
then the ocean is complete.

Complete and healthy.

But today many pieces of the puzzle are missing.

But I suspect they won't be late
for a long time,

the ocean is generous.

Dad is getting impatient.
He knows it's time to go.

He keeps saying he has
a special appointment.

The sun sets in the west
and on our adventure in the Pacific.

- With whom?
- I am anxious and excited.

It happens only once a year
and I can't miss it.

- What is it about? - Come on, Fabien.
The next stop is Nassau.

It will be February. Think big.
Pretend you don't understand, don't you?

- Yes, it's obvious!
- Yes sure.

the Bahamas.

We all immersed ourselves in these waters
countless times.

Gavin was born here and knows
every single centimeter of these backdrops.

And Fabien filmed his first one
documentary about sharks right here.

My brother is an experienced diver
and is not afraid of anything.

And he loves sharks too.

Yes, sharks have always fascinated me
since childhood.

that I wanted to film
these incredible animals.

And what are you waiting for then?

but they are only rare exceptions.

Usually, we are not on their menu.

Fabien, give us some data.

Okay, shark attacks
ending with 12 victims.

On average, 12 people a year
they are killed by sharks.

- And how many victims among sharks?
- For intensive fishing or accidental capture.

Accidental capture is collateral damage
of fishing, a senseless death.

Exact. But even more gruesome,
is the shark fin soup:

100 million sharks every year.

Yes, it's crazy.

There are thousands of miles of ocean
and millions of years of evolution

between the plankton at the beginning
of our adventure

and these sharks at the end of the journey:

the base and the top of the food chain.

Sharks are among the predators
oldest in the world.

Through the ages,
they have refined their hunting skills

and exceeded every environmental challenge,
except one, industrialized men.

Other inhabitants at risk of the barrier are
groupers, among the most important predators.

The specimen we see
lives permanently in this wreck.

Through the selection of prey,

predators like sharks and groupers
they have a key function

in the balance of the complex
ecosystem below them.

Missing a little now, maybe one or two days
to my special appointment.

The waters of Nassau
they are rich in coral life,

therefore there is much to see in the waiting.

We are not alone.
Who is hidden in the sand?

without thinking of flying.

With its wing beats, it seems to glide

swinging graceful and elegant
on its lush path.

I never built the submerged city
of which I dreamed as a child,

but I am always enchanted
from how the ocean colonises the wrecks,

rebuilding and renewing life.

The morays remember snakes, but it is
only of very long and thin fish.

Populate the rocky and coral bottoms
of the warm ocean waters,

with an incredible variety
of dimensions and colors.

They can reach
lengths of 4 meters.

The wide mouth is not in itself
a threat, but supports breathing.

This shrimp cleaner takes care of it
oral hygiene of the moray eel

and in return he gets food leftovers.

The moray seems to be grateful to him.

Besides, I am also grateful
to my dentist, usually!

Life expectancy on the barrier

decrease dramatically for creatures
swimming in the open sea.

Finding a hidden refuge is vital.

Some species,
such as palinurides and scillarids

they must find a new shelter
every single day.

And you even have to compete
for the same crack.

Rock lobster first found
an ideal refuge and takes possession of it.

The sea cicada lingers,
perhaps he hopes for a lease.

"We are complete, beautiful. Turn offshore ".

The poor girl has no choice but to leave.

Come! I want to show you one of the greatest,
scary and ruthless predators of the sea.

- Pope. Digging out these tunnels, these monsters
marine create perfect hiding places.

- Dad, we've grown up.
- Don't interrupt it.

He won't believe we're drinking it!

Prudence, friends, they rest here
the monsters of the abyss:

gobidi and blennioidei.

Maybe they're not big and scary,
but they are large in number,

these tiny creatures make up
one third of the barrier population.

And they are, therefore, a source of livelihood
precious for larger species

such as cod, haddock and plaice.

They usually take refuge in rocky cracks
and between the cracks of the corals,

but they are often helped
from a willing shrimp.

- About insatiable creatures
of the abysses ... - Come on fathers don't overdo it.

- No, this time it's true.
- The scorpion fish.

Its extravagant beauty
is aimed at confusing prey and predator.

The scorpion fish
he is an unstoppable and voracious hunter,

able to eat 40 fish in an hour.

The rays of the dorsal fin are actually
venomous spines that discourage predators.

In humans, poison can cause
seizures, heart attack and even death.

The scorpion fish is approaching by stealth
and attacks with surprising speed

The peach scorpion is native
of the Pacific ocean

and it was accidentally
introduced in the Atlantic.

And in these waters, in the absence of predators,
the scorpion fish have thus increased

to compromise the number
of fish younger than the reef.

Therefore, even involuntary actions
can have serious consequences,

altering the delicate balance
of nature.

My absolute favorite animal
gives me deep reflections.

Like the human being, he is very intelligent,

but because our evolutionary paths
they deviated 600 million years ago,

we have developed
in a decidedly different way.

In fact, we don't even get close
to his alien intelligence:

it's the octopus.

Formidable hunter,

the octopus tends its ambushes covering large
areas with the body similar to a parachute.

Below, the tentacles will grasp
and a fatal bite will kill.

They change color and shape camouflaging themselves
with the surrounding environment

at a surprising speed,
because their skin thinks.

Octopuses recognize faces,

distinguish people
even when they are wearing identical suits.

They can become attached to a human being
and bring resentment and resentment.

And in an environment where shelter
means survival,

the octopus is the king of contortion.

For him I space
it is never too tight or uncomfortable.

My father called the octopus:
"The soft intelligence of the sea".

I think it's time to reveal ourselves
something more about the appointment

of which we speak from about 8 thousand kilometers.

Ok. The migration path of the great
hammerhead sharks is still a mystery,

except for this place and this date.

Every year, for a few days in the month
February pass in these waters.

From the 1990s, in the Atlantic waters, the
Hammerhead shark population has halved.

In Africa and Asia,
the budget is even more alarming.

This meeting makes me nervous.
Because maybe it could also be the last one.

We must believe in his future that is so
intimately connected to the well-being of the ocean,

so that this meeting can be repeated
for many years to come.

We would just like you to tell us ...

Arnold, please.
Just this once.

Agree.

"I'll come back".

- I hope so, my friend.
- "Yup".

My father and my grandfather
they are not born environmentalists.

Fabien and I are not born environmentalists.

But spending a lot of time underwater
as we do,

you can't help but fall in love.

And start taking care of what you love,
to protect it and defend it.

And when we can't do it,
reality is more frightening than a school of sharks.

This is a dead barrier.
There is no more life.

No more hosting
the multitude of life forms

present in the barrier
which we have visited previously.

According to the United Nations,

about 20% of the world's coral reefs
has been destroyed.

Many more are in danger
and at risk of extinction.

This desolation is disconcerting.

And it requires a decisive intervention
of all world leaders.

Coral reefs
they should not be saved because they are beautiful.

And we know the reason for this.

Water heating
is one of the causes.

Another is ocean acidification
caused by greenhouse gases.

All the habitats we visited,

coral reefs,

the forests of Kelp,

sandy bottoms,

the mangroves, where the great abundance
of marine diversity lives,

all have one thing in common:
they are close to the earth.

That is to being
which draws greater benefits,

but that also constitutes
the biggest threat: us.

We pour oil into the sea,
chemical agents,

raw sewage,
plastic,

and an unimaginable amount of waste.

Even air pollution, as well as
that of the soil, has an impact on the oceans

and inevitably on humanity.

This is the ocean we dream of.

And reality can change
even where today there is desolation.

Because life returns
when conditions permit.

The ocean knows how to forgive.

Today, environmental associations,
activists

and private citizens around the world
support the environmental cause.

An important initiative is the institution
of the Marine Protected Area.

The Marine Protected Area can be
compared to national parks.

Governments around the world have started
to listen and to act, albeit slowly.

So far, only about 4% of the oceans
is part of the protected areas.

But it is an important step
in the right direction.

One of many.

After all,
survival also depends on us,

and our ability to adapt.

The ocean survives without us,
we do not survive without the ocean.

Or as he once said
my dear friend Sylvia Earle:

"No water, no life,
no Blue, no Green ”.

Do you know what,
neither could I have said it better.

For me, this was it
a journey of connections:

connections between habitats,
between the extremes of the food chain,

between one end of the earth and the other,
between us and the ocean

and between generations.

That's why we're all here.

There is no doubt about this!

I don't believe in dynasties
exactly like my father.

But we have a family passion
which is difficult to ignore.

- Impossible, I'd say. - Well, your father
has left you an important legacy.

Don't be in a hurry, Dad.
There are still many wonders out there ...

Which we could share.
