Coral Gardeners’ call for help to protect our blue planet’s coral reefs

What begins as a conversation on a beautiful beach in Mo’orea, soon turns into the realisation that our blue planet is on fire.

A story to inspire change, Ocean On Fire was born in support of the protection of the world’s coral reefs, the “gardens of the sea”. The film follows Titouan Bernicot, founder of Coral Gardeners, an ocean conservation movement fighting against coral bleaching. We watch Titouan grow up; from his childhood spent swimming in waters rich with life, to the present day as a leader of a global movement. It highlights the beauty below the ocean waters, the threat it faces today, and most importantly, the role we can play in its restoration. 

Rising sea temperatures are putting coral reefs in danger and 2024 saw an unprecedented global mass bleaching event. Coral Gardeners are on a mission to restore these vital ecosystems.
