“The Ocean is the cradle of life. It provides the food we eat, half of the oxygen we breathe and the energy we increasingly rely on. Explore the new opportunities and challenges that lie within our seas — and meet the men and women who work in the Blue Economy. Come with us on a voyage of discovery — in Ocean, every month on Euronews and Euronews.com”.

About “Ocean”

Developed in partnership with the European Commission’s DG MARE and produced by Euronews TV journalist Denis Loctier, the monthly Ocean series explores themes such as pollution and marine life, the blue economy, sustainable fishing, aquaculture, climate change, ocean energy and more. Each documentary is 8 minutes long and airs on nine of Euronews’ language editions (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian and Greek).

Whether visiting a fishery or exploring a tidal power project, the episodes focus on the human side of each story. Ocean explores the issues, demonstrating why the seas and oceans that surround us are not just a source of food, enjoyment and beauty, but also are crucial to our economy, employment and well-being.

Euronews employs the latest audiovisual technology (including drones and submersible cameras) to create a sleek, clean, unmistakably modern and cinematic style for the programme.
