UH Ocean Planet Films-Ocean Conservation

"Oasis of the Pacific: Time Is Running Out"- Directed by Adam Bromley. USA 2005, 57 min. Some of the world's most unique creatures are in danger of being lost forever. Oasis of the Pacific takes viewers on a revealing journey through the exhilarating yet endangered undersea world of the Hawaiian Islands. We tell the plain and simple truth, revealing in shocking transparency, the impact humans are having on these animals. Oasis of the Pacific empowers the viewer by providing examples of what each of us can do in our everyday lives, not only to help prevent more deterioration of this unparalleled ecosystem, but to actually prevent animals from becoming extinct. "Oceans for the Future: The Making of Marine Protected Areas"- Prod: New England Aquarium USA 1999 18 min. We attack them daily with pollution, over-fishing and coastal development. Colorful coral reef and kelp communities have now been replaced by barren sea floors, devoid of life. But there is hope. Like parks and wildlife refuges on land, marine protected areas can help ensure the future of oceans. Through stunning underwater footage, we investigate marine protected areas: how they work, what they can do, where they are and where they ought to be.
