For their expedition to Clipperton, conducted in partnership with the University of French Polynesia, the Pristine Seas team shot hundreds of hours of underwater and topside footage for a documentary film.
Their scientific findings supported the creation of a marine reserve, announced at the September 2016 Our Ocean conference in Washington, D.C., that encompasses Clipperton’s territorial waters.
