ANTARCTICA – DOMAIN ONE is the seventh documentary by @gauchosdelmar, winners of 71 international awards.

Narrated by 11 times surfing world champion @kellyslater and featuring renowned photographers and conservationists @mitty (Cristina Mittermeier) and @paulnicklen, the film follows a surfing expedition through the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands — one of the most vulnerable regions on Earth.

The documentary explores the urgent need to protect Domain One, an area threatened by climate change and concentrated krill fishing.

More than a film, this is an invitation to get involved and support the creation of the Domain 1 Marine Protected Area by signing the petition.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Orcas live in one of the most mother-centered societies on Earth. Pods are led by the oldest female, whose decades of knowledge guide the group to food and safety. Male orcas live a fraction of the lifespan of females and spend virtually their entire lives by their mother’s side. Even full-grown bulls rarely stray far from mum, making them contenders for the biggest mama’s boys on Earth!

Orcas are one of a surprisingly small handful of species, alongside humans, that go through menopause. Usually, mammals reproduce until death. Scientists believe menopause only evolves when an elder female’s other contributions are so significant that stopping reproduction is actually the better deal for the species. For orcas, the grandmother becomes a leader, her wisdom guiding the survival of the entire pod.

So whether you are a mother, a grandmother, or a matriarch of any kind, today is for you!

Only 9 more days to submit your reel for #60SecondsForTheSea!

This is a moment that gave our cofounder @PaulNicklen hope for the future of our ocean: a pod of healthy sperm whales resting, their bellies full of giant squid captured from unimaginable depths. Seemingly suspended in space and time, they sleep peacefully as the blue hue of the water blankets them.

Oh, to be a cachalot lying perfectly still, holding your breath as the world dances around you. They have no idea what taxes are, or AI, or climate change. All they know is the ebb and flow of the tide. What wonders must they be dreaming of as their eyes close to the dark.

Do you have a moment that gives you hope for the ocean? Share it with us in 60 Seconds for the Sea — Link in bio!

One August evening, on a quiet stretch of riverbank, a mother and her cub materialized from the brush just eight feet away from our co-founder @PaulNicklen.

She knew Paul was there, but paid him no attention, focusing instead on a large male upstream. For hours Paul photographed them as she tried to teach her young one to fish, though the lesson wasn’t sticking. The cub was far more interested in splashing through the shallows.

These are the same bears Alaskan wildlife officials have been shooting from helicopters. The controversial predator-control program has been in place since 2023, and the Alaskan government just renewed it for another season.

The Mulchatna caribou herd, once peaking near 200k animals in the 90s, fell to around 12k in 2019. The Alaskan government says predators are preventing their recovery, justifying the cull. We want the caribou to recover, but the state is going about it entirely the wrong way.

Every summer, the pristine rivers of Katmai National Park, Alaska, fill with salmon, luring hundreds of brown bears down from their mountain dens to feast before hibernation.

Despite being much larger than your average grizzly, Katmai bears are well known for their calm temperaments and indifference to people. The only thing on their mind is salmon, and some have wandered so close that @PaulNicklen could smell the fish on their breath.

These are the same bears, including mothers and cubs, that Alaska’s controversial predator-control program has been killing from helicopters over the last few years — and Alaska is planning to renew the program again this month.

In his latest essay with @KatieCouricMedia, Paul Nicklen reveals the full story on Alaska’s predator culling program, their justification for doing it, and why he believes they’re going about it the wrong way.

April 25th really is the perfect date: not too hot, not too cold, AND it’s World Penguin Day!

Did you know penguins have a secret superpower?

Before diving, they groom themselves to trap air in their dense feathers. Emperor penguins regularly dive to around 100-200 metres in depth hunting fish, squid, and krill. But every time they enter the water, they risk predation. In Antarctica, hungry leopard seals are always on the prowl.

To get out of the water quickly and safely (no awkward scrambling up the ice), penguins release those trapped air bubbles from their feathers as they ascend. This creates a lubricating layer that reduces drag and lets them accelerate like torpedoes, shooting straight out of the water and back onto the ice!

Bad news may get the clicks, but over the years, many of our conservation wins have come not from stories of loss, but from hope and life.

We have found that when we share places that leave us in awe, people respond. They care, and they rally to protect them. The same is true for people. When we meet those doing everything they can to protect the ocean, it reminds us we are not alone. There is a whole community fighting for the ocean.

That’s what this is all about.

Each of these images tells a story of hope. Now we want to hear yours!

Take a deep breath.

The ocean breathes with you, its pulse carrying life across the planet.

From the Galápagos to the Gulf of Alaska, the ocean connects us all. As seasons change, migratory species move from the Galápagos to Baja California, to British Columbia and Alaska, forming an artery that circulates life from one part of the world to another.

That life extends beyond the ocean, through salmon fighting upstream (sometimes into a bear’s waiting jaws), seabirds diving for their next meal to fuel their northward migration and nesting season, or people harvesting herring roe off kelp to feed their communities.

This Earth Day, @PacificWild and @SeaLegacy are coming together to celebrate this blue planet we call home, and our place within it. Each of us holds power in the choices we make. When we act together, those choices gain strength and ripple outward.

Happy Earth Day!
