Australia's Marine Protected Areas: The Sea & Me (28 min) Australia |
Director: James Sherwood, Danielle Ryan
Producer: Bluebottle Films
Description:
Journey across a number of Australia's world-class marine parks to learn about how they support species like the highly priced and valued coral trout and lobsters, the graceful manta rays and the placid grey nurse shark. But, marine parks support more than life just in the sea. Many Australians living by the sea depend on marine parks for their livelihood as well as their health and wellbeing, and many are taking a stewardship role to care for these areas. Listen to the first-hand accounts of scientists, researchers, divers, tourist operators and fishermen who have a story to share about the veranda of one of the world's greatest islands.
