00:00After living for nearly a hundred years on this planet, I now understand the most
00:06important place on earth is not on land, but at sea.
00:12Through the course of my life we have been on a voyage of ocean discovery.
00:18Only now are we understanding what it means for the future of our world.
00:25What we have found could change everything.
00:29For once you've truly seen the sea, you'll never look at earth in the same way again.
00:37The ocean is our planet's life support system
00:41and our greatest ally against climate catastrophe.
00:45Yet it's at a crossroads.
00:49We are draining the life from our ocean.
00:55Today, it is in such poor health, I would find it hard not to lose hope.
01:01Were it not for the most remarkable discovery of all.
01:07The ocean can recover faster than we had ever imagined.
01:12It can bounce back to life.
01:17Put simply, we've been given a lifeline.
01:21It may not just recover,
01:25but thrive beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.
01:31This is the story of our ocean.
01:37And how we must write its next chapter together.
01:45For if we save the sea,
01:47we save our world.
01:49After a lifetime of filming our planet,
01:52I'm sure that nothing is more important.
