From the geographer studying the recovery of polar whale populations and the team of physicists learning how to track the journey of each plastic particle when it reaches the shoreline, to the anthropologist documenting the role that Scottish Gaelic plays in conservation in Outer Hebridean fisheries. From the frozen depths of the arctic to the vibrant ecosystems of the coral reef, soak in the infinite wonder and profound beauty of the deep blue. Already, we’ve heard from experts about how chemical pollution in the ocean threatens human health, how the ocean economy is dominated by a handful of mega-rich corporations and why global warming is making the ocean more stable – with surprisingly worrying results.īut we’ve also heard informed reasons for hope. The Blue Planet DOCUMENTARY Take a deep breath as we plunge into the most mysterious and vast habitat on the planet. Traveling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. The Conversation has been keeping an eye on some of these as part of our Oceans 21 series. Since The Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. The UN has declared that the next ten years will be the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, recognising the enormous challenges facing our blue planet. The facade is covered with more than 33,000 small diamond-shaped aluminum shingles, which adapt to the building’s organic form. The building’s distinctive shape is clearly visible for travelers arriving by plane to the nearby Copenhagen Airport. Sadly, that’s just one problem among many. The Blue Planet is located on an elevated headland towards the sea, north of Kastrup Harbor. The year of the quiet ocean is over, and noise pollution is roaring back to pre-pandemic levels, drowning out the sounds that marine species depend on to communicate and make sense of their surroundings. Researchers are trying to understand how the lull affected ocean life, but there are already stories of whales seizing the chance to sing and dolphins venturing into coastal areas they’d avoided for decades. Blue Planet Environmental is proud to offer innovative, efficient, and scalable products and services to the most pressing water management challenges. Container vessels, cruise ships and drilling platforms had fallen silent, and so the oceans grew quieter than at any other time in recent memory. When birdsong was filling the muted days of the first lockdown, marine scientists were noticing something similar in the world’s oceans.
