This audio documentary is a love story with the Ocean, the reef and its guardians. An invitation to travel to Caribbean shores to immerse yourself in the lived experiences of coastal communities, and in the sounds of the local ecosystems: the coral reefs and the mangroves.
You will hear stories from Raizal fishermen, turning their ignorance for corals into love, respect and admiration, and learn about the work of the female marine biologists of the Blue Indigo Foundation to restore and heal corals.
Together, they share about their dreams for the future of the reef, the challenges they face with global warming, climate change and extreme weather events, and the hopes of marine and coastal ecosystem regeneration after the recent hurricanes.
Take a moment to relax, remember that every other breath you take comes from the ocean, and enjoy the ride. Best enjoyed on headphones, or loud speakers with a quiet environment – and ideally, with others as a collective listening journey.
The sounds and interviews were recorded in the Archipelago of San Andres, Providence and Santa Catalina in November 2024. With deep thanks to the Blue Indigo Foundation team and to my interviewees: Pedro, Laura, Yanelis, Ruben, Camilo, Casimiro and Josselyn. The recordings of the reefs and the mangroves were taken with the Aquarian audio hydrophone.
