Follow the footsteps of an international mission developing groundbreaking solutions to save the Great Barrier Reef and its 9,000 unique species from destruction.
These species interact with the coral to form a complex and delicate ecosystem dependent on each other for survival. Yet today the coral – and therefore all the organisms that depend on it – is gravely at risk. In a visually stunning series of one the most beautiful natural habitats on Earth, our international award-winning crew has followed a team of scientists for five years. Their mission is to develop groundbreaking technological solutions to save the Great Barrier Reef from destruction.
Series One, Episode Two: Resurrecting The Reef
Over the past 30 years, the world has lost nearly one-third of its coral reefs. More than one billion people depend on reefs for food and hunderds of thousands of people depend on them for their livelihoods. From the most recently developed killer robots, to shellfish farming, ultra-modern tactics are now proving their worth in the Great Barrier Reef to ensure the survival of this natural wonder that is the coral world and to make it possible to export this know-how to many of the world’s reefs.
