TIGER SHARK KING
17 minutes
More than 20 years ago, conservationist and diver Jim Abernethy discovered the 'affectionate' side of large predatory sharks after removing a fishing hook from the jaws of a tiger shark. Since then he has removed thousands of hooks from sharks in the warm, clear waters off the Bahamas and has brought divers to safely encounter these apex predators with the goal of de-stigmatising sharks as mindless killers.

EYRE & SEA
10 minutes
On the edge of the Great Australian Bight, a wild place where vast desert spills into roaring ocean, weather is king. It's a pristine environment supporting a unique array of wildlife, including the endangered Australian sea lion.
Here, in a town with a population of 3, lives Alan. In a life shaped around the natural world, an unlikely relationship with a colony of pinnipeds has fundamentally changed him.

Inspired by a picture book, Max Romey heads to a remote beach on Alaska's coastline in search of marine debris. What he finds is a different story altogether.
