Blue Planet: Seas of Life
Open Ocean

of land and reefs. Learn the fascinating survival strategies and

populations.

Blue Planet: Seas of Life
Frozen Seas
 Travel to arctic seas and witness wildlife living beneath the

these and other marine species living in icy ecosystems find prey
and protect themselves from predators.
Airs: 1/28/03, 3/4/03, 4/8/03, 5/13/03

Blue Planet: Seas of Life
Seasonal Seas

on a reef. And watch as life is renewed after a storm destroys this
delicate ecosystem.
