Summary
International waters constitute 61% of the global ocean. They belong to no nation, yet many vessels from all over the world exploit them. Sea Shepherd is a marine conservation group that works on the frontline to tackle the problems of poaching and unregulated fishing worldwide. Groups of dedicated volunteers venture out to sea for months-long campaigns to protect marine life. They don't shy away from direct action, frequently getting into tense confrontations with poachers and fishermen. More than ever our individual actions matter in the endeavor to race extinction, because when the oceans die, we die.

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
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.
