How Humans Are Exploiting the Oceans

This documentary dives into the deep sea to ask what industrial exploitation of the ocean floor would really mean. Following an expedition in the Pacific, it examines the push to mine raw materials from the seabed and the damage it could do to fragile, barely understood ecosystems. It weighs human demand against the health of the ocean. Thought-provoking and timely, it explores a frontier of resource extraction few people ever see. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
