Summary
Experts discuss the importance of kelp forests and their role as the foundation of the Great Southern Reef in Australia. Dr Scott Bennett, Prof Adriana Verges, Dr Karen Filbee-Dexter and Aaron Eger explore the various ways in which we benefit from these pristine ecosystems and the potential consequences if we were to lose them. From economic value to cultural significance, this video sheds light on the immeasurable benefits we derive from nature and the need to value and protect it.

Summary
What if people could be the secret to transforming ocean deserts into rich forests filled with an abundance of life? Join two marine scientists as they explore how a hands-on approach to marine restoration is working to revive marine kelp forests in South Korea. During their trip, they witness how a deep connection with the ocean is inspiring change. In Korea, this connection runs across society, from a hundreds year old guild of female free divers to the Korea Fisheries Agency using the latest techniques to manage their kelp forests. By recognising that while people may take from the sea, people can also take care of the sea, they are charting a new course to thriving kelp forests all around the world.

Summary
Mick Baron and Karen Gowlett-Holmes have been running the Eaglehawk Dive Centre on the iconic Tasman Peninsula since 1991. For decades one of the major attractions to the area has been the giant kelp forests. But over the years they have seen first hand the destruction of the giant kelp forests, a direct result of climate change. Dependent on Tasmania's giant kelp forests more than anyone, Mick and Karen have been instrumental in the efforts to research and rehabilitate these critically endangered ecosystems. With word spreading about restoration efforts, now the dive centre is increasingly receiving requests for people interested in diving on the restored reefs. In this short film, Mick and Karen take you on a journey through the day in the life of these highly accomplished Tasmanian dive shop owners. The film explores their personal reflections on the dramatic changes observed in the giant kelp forests within their lifetimes and their ongoing efforts to raise awareness to the issue and gain traction in the rehabilitation of these reefs.

Summary
Native flat oysters were once abundant in the waters surrounding Kangaroo Island. These oysters, known as angasi oysters were once an important food source for the Indigenous people of the region, who harvested them using traditional methods for thousands of years. However, with the arrival of European settlers in the 19th century, the oyster populations began to decline rapidly due to overfishing, habitat destruction, and the introduction of non-native species. In the early 20th century, efforts were made to restore the native flat oyster populations of Kangaroo Island's waters. Hatcheries were established to breed and grow juvenile oysters, which were then transplanted to suitable habitats in the surrounding waters. While these efforts were initially successful, the oyster populations continued to face numerous challenges, including disease outbreaks, predation, and environmental degradation. Today, the native flat oyster populations in Kangaroo Island's waters remain low, and the oysters are considered a threatened species. But there is new hope for their survival and prosperity, as local marine scientists and oyster farmers have discovered an unlikely hero - razorfish.

Summary
Market research is big business, with clients demanding more and better ways of finding out what their customers want. Case studies show how market research is changing and the impact of new technology. Classic divisions: The internet is now widely used in market research - as are mobile phones and other new techniques. But the classic divisions of market research still apply. We explain qualitative and quantitative research: also primary and secondary research. Applications: The publishing giant IPC uses market research for long established titles such Melody Maker, as well as for launching new titles, such as the controversial Nuts magazine. Universal Records employs research to keep in touch with its buyers - for example, how will the market react to the launch of a new band? For Cancer Research UK, meanwhile, market research is about testing how effective their TV ads are. What's it all for? The technology may be impressive, but what's the point of it all? What use is market research if it supports products we don't need?
