Manta and devil rays are some of the most intriguing creatures in

inside out, but also understands how to write' Guardian Oceans are

unexplored, yet ninety-five percent of the planet's habitable space
lies within them. And now the life they support is in the balance.

the richness of life in the deep and how it has altered over the
centuries. He shows the catastrophic impact of humanity on the
oceans, but also how we can restore them to life. 'For anyone who
loves the sea, Ocean of Life is a wake-up call, an urgent alert'

Ramon Navarro, a third-generation subsistence fisherman and farmer
who lives on the coast of Chile at Punta Lobos, learned to surf on
a busted surfboard left by a visiting surfer. Since then he has
become one of the top-ten big wave riders. He has used his surfing
accomplishments to protect his home break, and he is admired around
the world as an environmental activist: he fights resort
development on the point, the building of pulp mills along on the
coast, and sewage pipes that pollute the ocean off Pichilemu.
Editor Chris Malloy created the film and book The Fisherman's Son,
which focuses on Ramon's rise to big wave fame and how Ramon is
using that notoriety to make his voice heard on activism issues.
Contributors to the book include Gerry Lopez, Josh Berry, and Jack
Johnson. Part of the proceeds to the book and film will be used to
support Ramon's environmental efforts.
