Episodes
View the reef as tourists enjoy the perfect weather, humpback whales give birth and fire destroys a luxury yacht. On the most protected island in Australia, 20,000 green sea turtles return to the biggest reptilian breeding colony on Earth.
The coral reef has a massive spawning event all in one night. Some of the human stories include a Queensland rescue helicopter, aquarium fish collectors, and indigenous people. Sugar cane farms lead to a Crown-of-thorns starfish explosion.
See how the human and animal residents of the reef prepare for a category five cyclone that brings destruction to the North Queensland coast. As cyclone season finally gives way to calm seas of the dry, the reef begins to recover and thrive.
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 - where man meets wild and Nature calls the shots.
