Great Barrier Reef
Reef and Beyond
Season 1 Episode 3 of 3
Monty Halls reveals how the Great Barrier Reef is vitally linked to the rest of the planet in many ways. Creatures travel thousands of miles to visit, from tiger sharks, great whales and seabirds to the largest green-turtle gathering on Earth and rarely seen alien-like creatures, such as the tentacled nautilus. The reef is also affected by weather systems travelling from across the Pacific, including cyclones that bring destruction and chaos to the coral and the creatures that live on it
Great Barrier Reef airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD at 4:15 PM, Thursday 8 May. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
