Mick Baron and Karen Gowlett-Holmes have been running the Eaglehawk Dive Centre on the iconic Tasman Peninsula since 1991. For decades one of the major attractions to the area has been the giant kelp forests. But over the years they have seen first hand the destruction of the giant kelp forests, a direct result of climate change. Dependent on Tasmania's giant kelp forests more than anyone, Mick and Karen have been instrumental in the efforts to research and rehabilitate these critically endangered ecosystems. With word spreading about restoration efforts, now the dive centre is increasingly receiving requests for people interested in diving on the restored reefs. In this short film, Mick and Karen take you on a journey through the day in the life of these highly accomplished Tasmanian dive shop owners. The film explores their personal reflections on the dramatic changes observed in the giant kelp forests within their lifetimes and their ongoing efforts to raise awareness to the issue and gain traction in the rehabilitation of these reefs.

From economic value to cultural significance, this video sheds light on the immeasurable benefits we derive from nature and the need to value and protect it.
