Pacific shipwrecks: toxic leaks into the Ocean

Beneath the surface of the Pacific, forgotten World War II shipwrecks are corroding—and releasing toxic chemicals into fragile marine ecosystems. This Tara Oceans Foundation investigation reveals how leaking fuel and heavy metals threaten ocean life, food security, and coastal communities. Scientists and local partners work together to assess the damage and find solutions before it’s too late.

Produced, directed, filmed and edited by Sarah Fretwell for Tara Oceans Foundation.
