Heartbreaking documentary - Ocean w/ David Attenborough
I hope it doesn’t get deleted either. Our oceans, as well as our rivers, lakes, and streams, are so supremely important. I got into the hobby through my kid, and in this short time, I’ve been thinking so much about the importance of water quality and balance in the ecosystem. And how our actions disturb this balance. Thanks for sharing! More on reddit.com

These docs just make me depressed, do I want change? Like fucking yesterday but as long as keep putting profits before everything else, nothing will change. I fear It’s gonna take blood to change anything. More on reddit.com

June 10, 2025 -

I hope the mods don't delete this post. If you haven't watched the new David Attenborough documentary, it's very revealing and extremely sad. About 20 minutes in they discuss bottom trawling. The camera is attached to the bottom chain and the destruction is gut wrenching. The before and after of the scallop beds are particularly disturbing.

As fish lovers I'd like to think we're all nature nuts who appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Sharing this documentary is something we can all do to help. As minor as it may seem.

P.S. I don't cry much but it had me in tears

March 23, 2025 - But today, just 2.7% of the ocean is effectively protected from harmful industrial activity. The film’s message is clear: The laws of today are failing the seas. So-called “protected” areas often aren’t. And banning destructive practices like bottom trawling is not just feasible — it’s imperative. ... Great show, but the music was way too loud! David is always incredible, but don't drown him out!
