Airdate: Blue Planet Revisited

Two part doco series Blue Planet Revisited has an Australian premiere on BBC Earth later this month, as it focusses on the Great Barrier Reef and the Bahamas.

Blue Planet Revisited celebrates marine life from all corners of the globe, with this two-part series exploring the particular challenges facing the eco system and wildlife in two key locations – Australian’s Great Barrier Reef and the Bahamas. As the breeding season gets underway, the series focuses on the action following whales and their calves, turtles and their hatchlings and the scientists who know our ocean best. The series is packed with insight and spectacle. Incredible shark dives in the Bahamas. The underwater dawn chorus of the Great Barrier Reef, home to 600 different kinds of coral and more than 1500 species of fish. Drawing on some of the best footage from 2019’s week-long Blue Planet Live, and with the help of marine experts, evidence is gathered to help form a snapshot of the health of our oceans. With the rise in plastic pollution and boat traffic, alongside our continued harvesting of fish stocks, never has this been more important.

Mondays and Tuesdays at 8.30pm from April 20 on BBC Earth.
