Ocean with David Attenborough is now in cinemas - a new feature-length documentary showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean. In Scotland, we have been waiting for over ten years for the vital protections needed for our seas. 1/2

Very cool to see a live example of coastal rewilding while at Blouberg beach with the fam today. As mentioned in my talk at #IMCC7 this was one example that came up in my recent review on marine rewilding. Found a link to the project here: vulaservices.com/project-1-ta...
