Life on the Reef

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.

From the award-winning team behind Kakadu, comes this observational documentary series, Life On The Reef. Filmed over the course of a year, Life On The Reef follows those who live in one of the most extraordinary places on the planet, Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Set against a backdrop of extraordinary marine habitats, ranging from coral reefs to tropical islands, shallow estuaries to deep oceanic waters - Life On The Reef takes the audience above and beneath the waters as nature adapts to the changing seasons throughout the year.
