The struggle to keep Ross Sea the only sea free of fishing is at the heart of this documentary. Ecologist David Ainley has researched the area for over 30 years, cataloguing its ecosystem’s richness and describing it as a “living laboratory”. If until a little while ago Ross Sea was able to keep up its delicate natural balance on its own, it is now getting a lot of attention. The target? The black hake, a delicacy in restaurants all around the world, the fishery of which endangers the Sea’s ecosystem. The Last Ocean is the result of six years of research, filming and activism.
