- Urban Bay is a documentary about one of the natural wonders of the world seen from a completely novel angle: the bottom of Guanabara Bay waters in Rio de Janeiro. Focusing on characters who live in this environment and know their species and their problems. The Guanabara Bay and the Ocean are continuously suffering from different stressors, the population of several species has diminished, but still maintain great diversity of species, which means that there are hopes for the recovery of the environmental quality of Guanabara Bay and the Ocean as a whole, nevertheless the opportunity window to take effective actions is getting closer and closer. To clean up is nothing more than to stop polluting, so the documentary raises several potentials of the region if the environmental quality of the estuary is recovered, social, economic, environmental and cultural potentials, such as the improvement and gains of spaces of welfare and leisure of the population, potential of tourism, food, biotechnology, among others. The Guanabara Bay situation is a reflection of what humanity is causing in the ocean, but because it is an estuary, its problems are more visible than oceanic issues such as the warming and acidification processes due to atmospheric pollution. The time has come to put the Ocean on the agenda of Global political-economic actions, as their transformation and degradation can have effects as or more severe than climate change itself. The Bay of Guanabara is a microcosm of the Ocean.
