China Media Group (CMG) made waves this week with the splashy debut of its documentary ‘Sailing Toward the Sea’ —a deep dive into the nation’s oceanic ambitions, timed perfectly for World Oceans Day. Think of it as a Netflix-style exploration of China’s 18,000-kilometer coastline, but with way more science and zero cliffhangers (unless you count cliffside ecosystems
).
The series, part of CMG’s ‘Nature of China’ lineup, spotlights how tech innovation meets eco-consciousness
along coastal regions. From AI-powered fishery management to coral restoration projects, the show blends stunning visuals with stories of communities riding the tide of economic change.
Why should you care? As climate change reshapes coastlines globally, China’s push for sustainable ocean economies could set trends worldwide. Plus, the doc’s focus on youth-led marine startups
might just inspire the next gen of eco-entrepreneurs.
‘This isn’t just about China—it’s about our shared future with the oceans,’ said a CMG spokesperson, in a quote that’s basically catnip for environmentally minded Gen-Z viewers .
