Life on the Reef

Season 1  |  Episode 3  |  ABC

It's summer in North Queensland - the time when the tropics heave with energy and runoff from rainforests pumps nutrients into this supercharged marine ecosystem. Large predators such as sailfish come in from all over the Pacific to feed in the waters. The attack then comes from the sky, where a flock of hungry seabirds wait for their opportunity to strike.
