Living with the Sea: New Ireland's Seagrass Frontier
Seagrass meadows — among the ocean's most productive yet overlooked biomes. They are the foundation upon which entire coastal economies are quietly built. And they are under threat.
This film listens. Through the unscripted voices of fishers casting nets at dawn, women who read the tides like scripture, youth inheriting both the bounty and the burden, and community leaders navigating the space between tradition and urgency — we witness what it truly means to depend on a living sea.
From the science of blue carbon to the ancient wisdom of tambu, New Ireland's communities are charting their own course toward resilience — guided by locally led conservation, community monitoring, and the support of the MACBLUE Project under GIZ, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Where the sea breathes, people endure. Where people act, the sea recovers.
