A must see Sundance award winning documentary describing how the 2 degree C temp rise in ocean temperatures that occurred over the past 5 decades is only the beginning. Wayne Gerdes – CleanMPG – Aug. 15, 2017 I watched Chasing Coral on Netflix last night and am a much more educated citizen of earth because of it. The Immediate Need to Prevent Coral Reefs from Going Extinct Jeff Orlowski won the U.S. Documentary Audience Award at Sundance earlier this year for "Chasing Coral,” a stunning documentary about the fight to protect coral reefs from going extinct. The film featuring breathtaking and distressing underwater footage of coral around the globe while educating viewers about the life cycle, recent history, and how endangered coral reefs are.

Just months between the healthy coral on the left and the dead skeleton of the same on the right.
