Director Statement

In 1859 Darwin published his most important work, a book about a new theory that explain the creation of every being in nature, called “On the origin of species”.
That supposed a big revolution and a new way of thinking. There was scientific explanation for life and it was evolution theory.
Perhaps this was the beginning of a scientific way of thinking in which humans were not a creation itself, but were another steep on a ladder of beings, as important as its previous steps and the ones behind. And with that idea and its magnificence began the awareness of environmental protection.
"The evolution of the ocean" shows that evolution but in the oceans, which has been always rather unknown, in a beautiful way.
From the primitive earth of volcanos to the most sophisticated marine mammals, going through different beings from less complex to more complex. And it shows it in a beautiful way as it is.
The evolution has and is being a marvelous show of nature that we have to know in order to love, and with the aim of protect it. Because people only protect what they love, and love what they know.
