Asia has the longest coastline of any continent and the earth’s richest coral reefs. This episode explores Asia’s waters, as spectacular as they are diverse, and never-seen-before animal behaviour.
Asia has the longest coastline of any continent and the richest coral reefs on earth. Its seas are connected by some of the world’s most powerful currents and are home to over 60 per cent of all marine species.
This groundbreaking film features the charismatic creatures of Asia's oceans, never-seen-before spectacles and brand new animal behaviour. From ocean giants in the big blue to tiny fish that climb trees, squid that glow in the dark and grey reef sharks in their hundreds, Asia’s waters are as spectacular as they are diverse.
