M.A.N.A

Across the Pacific, a coalition of large ocean states have combined their exclusive ocean territories into a new marine protectorate. This new alliance is known as M.A.N.A (Marine Archipelago Nations Alliance).
In this docu-fictional interview with M.A.N.A sound analyst Joven Sakuma, we explore the vital role of “large ocean states” in marine governance across the Pacific. This film imagines how future attitudes toward marine protection, harvest and logistics might be radically adjusted by higher fidelity sensing and tracking of our oceans in combination with a return to far older cultural traditions of ocean stewardship.
