Description
"Australia: Fortunes in the Sea: The northwest coast of Australia is home to a dazzling array of marine life -- and the site of human drama. Impoverished Indonesian fishermen, their homeland depleted of oceanic wealth, ply Australian waters in rickety boats. With handmade goggles and a gulp of air, they dive for the sea's bounty. But Australia's aboriginal people, who depend on the same waters are determined to conserve these valuable resources. Mel Gibson narrates this exciting exploration of the clash between human needs and the earth's needs. Australia: The last barrier: Stretching 1200 miles along the coast of Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is a turquoise-and-indigo realm often called the Eighth Wonder of the World. Jacques Cousteau and crew sail this glorious seascape where 1500 species of fish swirl and bob through a coral forest. The fascinating sights include a floating hotel, a swampland encounter with the behemoth Australian sea crocodile and an underwater snowstorm -- the astonishing, just-discovered secret of coral reproduction. Anthony Hopkins narrates."--Container.
