The Blue Forest is the first comprehensive film focusing on the important topics of kelp and seaweed around the world. The film also explores how we can preserve one of the world’s most productive habitats. Kelp forests are recognised as one of the most complex and vital ecosystems on Earth, easily comparable to the Amazon forest. They are crucial to the health and survival of our planet, but sadly we are at risk of losing them.

The team visited Chile’s Atacama coast and documented the voluntary wild deforestation of the world’s largest kelp reserve. The waters of Chile have some of the best conditions for kelp forests to thrive naturally and yet human extraction is threatening their very existence. We do have time to protect the kelp but we must act quickly. The purpose of our film is to educate, inspire and encourage valuable action to prevent further devastation.
