TREASURE OF THE CARIBBEAN, 51min., USA
Directed by Ana Salceda
In 2013, a Guatemalan fisherman made a stunning discovery: a massive, uncharted coral reef, seemingly untouched by the bleaching that has decimated other reefs across the Caribbean. To protect what may be a rare “super reef,” scientists partner with local fishers to chronicle its riches and fight for its conservation.
