Chasing Corals

What happens when the most vibrant ecosystems on Earth silently vanish beneath the waves?

Chasing Corals (Netflix, 2017) dives into the rappid vanishing world of coral reefs. It reminds us that climate change is not just a future threat, but it's happening right now, and it's visible underwater.

Key Messages

Coral Reefs are dying - fast

The film documents the number 1 pressing issue in the ocean today - coral bleaching. A phenomenon that is triggered due to rising ocean tempeartures and climate change. Reefs once overflowing with life, biodiversity and color, turn plain white and lifeless in a matter of few weeks

Coral Reefs are Critical to Life on Earth

Corals may seem distant to our everyday lives, but they support 25@ of marine llife, protect coastlines, and have increasingly begun to contribute to medicine.

The Ocean is the Frontline of Climate Change

Rising ocean temperatures, which are further intensified by carbon emissions, silently kill these corals and marine biodiversity

People don't know what is happening, and that is the biggest problem

One of the film's powerful points is about awareness. Most people have no idea how fast coral ecosystems are declining. This film acts as a tool for changing that.

We still have time, but not much

The film ends with a call to action, encouraging viewers to push for systemic change, reduce carbon footprints, and amplify awareness of ocean conversation.

Chasing Coral calls for climate action, awareness and urgency. Whether that's shifting to renewables, reducing emissions, or pushing for policy change, the film leaves us with a clear takeaway:

If we want to protect our oceans, the time to act is now.
