Dominica: The Nature Island (2023) | Pristine Seas | National Geographic Society

After the harrowing experiences of Hurricane Maria in 2017, Dominica committed to transforming the island into the world’s first climate resilient nation. Dominica: The Nature Island (2023) follows the National Geographic Pristine Seas team as they partner with local leadership to conduct the first full-island survey of the marine ecosystems around the island. The scientific results from the international team’s weeks of work will help inform the Dominican government and its people in their resilience planning to ensure their marine environment’s irreplaceable assets continue to sustain the well-being of many generations of Dominicans.

Beautiful Docu! My favourite Caribbean island above and below the surface. I sailed into Dominica before Maria as well as last year and the nature must be preserved. While freediving I could hear the whales! Last visit I also hiked the Waitukubuli National Trail and made a docu about it, Dominica above the surface:) It's all connected! We could drink the water from all river without any problem. Let's keep it pure!
