Shells: Shaped by Nature

Since the dawn of time, Nature has sculpted the oceans with her delicate hand, weaving the tapestry of life in the shimmering depths and sunlit shallows.

These delicate spirals, with their tender curves, ensnare our imagination, inspiring art, shaping cultures, adorning garments, and even serving as currency in ancient economies. "Shells: Shaped by Nature" is an artistic tribute to the enigmatic splendor of shells, celebrating these intricate marvels that grace Africa’s marine realms.

Coral reefs are believed by many to have the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet. A lot of the life found here can seem very alien at first, they occupy less than 1 percent of the ocean floor but yet are home to more than 25 percent of all marine life.

In this one hour special, we are brought into this alien environment and discover for ourselves a strange, hidden world that is simply abundant with life, ranging from the weird to the wonderful.

But is that what the ocean is really like?

National Geographic: Australia's Great Barrier Reef

Few biological wonders can rival those in Australia's Great Barrier Reef for spectacular beauty, and few filmmakers can rival National Geographic's lush photography. The giant colonial organism, though endangered by pollution and other threats, still spawns once each year in a gorgeous frenzy of new growth. It's a fertile time for all of the creatures dwelling in and around the reef structure, and the National Geographic cameras capture barracuda, bright damselfish, giant marine worms, and many other lovely and fascinating neighbors. Neville Copland's gentle music complements the serene photography, and the narration, while interesting, doesn't distract the viewer from the stunning delights on the screen. We can't all afford a diving trip down under, but Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the next best thing.
