Heroes of the Sea

Heroes of the Sea

From the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic to the Pacific, photographer York Hovest is on a quest to find people who have solutions to one of the most pressing problems of our time: Saving the oceans.

From climate change to illegal fishing. From the death of corals to the global plastic pollution in our oceans. York Hovest finds real heroes around the world who impressively show us how to implement solutions. Heroes of the Sea is not just a cautionary appeal to humanity through shocking images. Rather, this film illustrates the positive message that we can all do something.

All those involved in this film, have contributed their work for free to help our oceans. We believe, that everyone can make a change!

Director Statement

I no longer wanted to listen and watch how we destroy our earth. Only solutions and hope allows us humans to positively shape the future.
