Synopsis
One of the world's most unique ecosystems is in danger of being lost forever. Our unceasing population growth and increased demand on Hawaii’s natural resources have put us in direct conflict with the animals that rely on this ecosystem for their very survival. Oasis of the Pacific is a 58-minute documentary that takes viewers on a revealing journey through the stunning yet endangered undersea world of the Hawaiian Islands. Striking imagery of this underwater realm is juxtaposed with the harsh and ugly realities caused by three major anthropogenic impacts currently overwhelming marine life: shoreline sprawl, pollution and overfishing. Concerned marine biologists, experts from local environmental organizations and Hawai’i residents passionately speak out against the unnecessary and unabated shoreline sprawl, the indiscriminate fishing practices and the chemical pollution and mountains of plastic and derelict fishing gear found throughout the archipelago. We also disclose how illicit violations committed within the fishing industry are leading to the extinction of some of the most threatened animals in the world. The importance of keystone species is clearly revealed, as is the intricate and vital link between the health of the ocean and the continued survival of our own species. The documentary describes the role each of us can play in securing our future generations with a legacy of as rich and varied an ocean as we were fortunate enough to inherit. The viewer is left feeling empowered with a newfound sense of appreciation and awareness for this Oasis of the Pacific.
