The first film explores how the extraordinary structure of the Great Barrier Reef was created and continues to flourish - despite its position in some of the most nutrient poor waters in the world. This episode unveils the daily interactions of the creatures of the reef, how they compete and co-operate in this intensely crowded world and how they respond to tidal and seasonal rhythms.
Using cutting edge underwater macro and digital time-lapse photography, as well as unique views from space, the series provide completely new perspectives of this natural wonder.
