OCEAN with David Attenborough and Revive Our Ocean Greece

OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH takes viewers on a breathtaking journey, showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker David Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

Premiering alongside the Revive Our Ocean Greece initiative launch, a roundtable discussion with marine issue experts will set the scene ahead of the Ocean with David Attenborough screening, examining the future of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Greece.

The premiere event will be honoured by the presence of the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
