Dive into the incredible world of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem. This educational series explores the lives of watery critters and their surroundings, from super-sighted shrimp to trash-eating tiger sharks, thriving as a whole in a web of life. We see how they defend themselves, get around, interact, obtain food, shelter and much, much more.
