Tishiko King, a marine biologist from Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, emphasizes the urgent need to protect her oceanic home from climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and the erosion of cultural sites. Her journey is documented in the film “Sea Country – Malu Lag,” which follows her advocacy efforts at the United Nations Climate Change council in Dubai, highlighting the disproportionate effects climate change has on Torres Strait Islander communities. The film, produced in collaboration with Patagonia, aims to raise awareness among Australians about these pressing environmental issues.
