The ocean is an important part of our history, culture and identity. We use it for transportation, fishing and swimming. No matter how far we live from the coast, our daily actions affect the health of the ocean.

Deep Sea Reporters expedition in Raja Ampat has uncovered both remarkable conservation efforts and troubling findings that affect us all. Watch Simon Stanford's firsthand report from a remote little island in Raja Ampat. What he found in the jungle doesn’t belong there. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, impacting marine life and ecosystems. From single-use bottles to microplastics, this pollution chokes wildlife, damages coral reefs, and even enters our food chain. What can we do? #hidden #exploration #nature #microplastics #rajaampat #oceanlife #plasticinparadise

When we talk about climate change, we are usually talking about warming in the atmosphere and changing weather systems, but the oceans are also affected and perhaps even worse. Octopuses are eco-thermal creatures, which means that they are dependent on the temperature of their surroundings to keep themselves warm. This makes them particularly vulnerable in a warming ocean. #research #science #fish #ocean #climatechange

This little creature that was filmed by our team in Raja Ampat, is called a Pygmy seahorse. There are as of right now, seven species of this seahorse. It was accidently discovered by a New Caledonian scientist, Georges Bargibant, on a piece of coral in 1969. It's colors and bumps gives it a unique camouflage with the coral it lives on.

On their mission in Raja Ampat, they discover more than the plastic in paradise. That landing a drone on a boat, is harder than it seems.

For several years, there have been reports of the death of blue mussels. A lot of research has gone into trying to understand why they have disappeared. But this year, something has happened. In the waters off the coasts of western Sweden, the bottoms are now covered with huge numbers of small mussels, and no one really seems to know why this is happening.

What lies beneath the surface when you take a swim? The ocean is home to an incredible diversity of life, from organisms visible to the naked eye to microscopic creatures only detectable with a microscope. The ocean offers the largest living space on Earth, stretching from the surface to its deepest depths.

We explore the plastic pollution crisis in the Philippines, focusing on the widespread use of disposable plastic sachets. Research indicates that the river flowing through Manila may account for up to 6% of all plastics entering the oceans.

We explore the plastic pollution crisis in the Philippines, focusing on the widespread use of disposable plastic sachets. These sachets are difficult to recycle and significantly contribute to environmental degradation, especially in rivers and oceans. Research indicates that the river flowing through Manila may account for up to 6% of all plastics entering the oceans.

Coral bleaching is a phenomenon where corals lose their vibrant colors and turn white, a signal that they are under severe stress. This stress is primarily caused by changes in environmental conditions, such as increases in sea temperatures, pollution, overexposure to sunlight, and ocean acidification. But the corals in Raja Ampat have shown remarkable resilience compared to other regions. Dr. Mark Erdmann explains why!

New episode: They have just arrived in what they believe and hope is paradise. Raja Ampat is located in the centre of what is known as the ‘coral triangle’, which stretches from the Philippines down to Malaysia, Indonesia and over to East Timor. Here the underwater photographers Johan Candert, Tobias Dahlin and Göran Ehlmé will be diving and filming among fish and corals, many of which are found nowhere else on earth. A paradise that has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2005. But what they encounter is anything but paradise.

Life on Earth is believed to have originated in the ocean. Today, the ocean continues to supply water, oxygen, nutrients, and regulate the climate—essential elements for life to thrive. In this way, the ocean makes our planet habitable.
