Ocean Dreams
The ocean is the blue heart of our planet and is essential for all forms of life, including our own. It regulates the climate, provides food, produces much of the air we breathe and is an endless source of enjoyment and inspiration. Ocean Dreams will take audiences on a global adventure to reveal the fascinating, and largely unexplored, world beneath the waves. From the deep fjords of Norway where orcas skillfully hunt schools of herring, to the vibrant waters of Raja Ampat in Indonesia home to the richest biodiversity on Earth. Dive with wolffish, the guardians of the kelp forest, as they use their powerful jaws to dine on sea urchins and enjoy the splendor of the rarely seen Bikini Atoll where marine life that disappeared after nuclear testing is thriving again. The oceans are being challenged, but in every corner of the globe are inspirational stories of resilience and recovery. When given a chance, the oceans can heal and dreams can become reality.

Against all odds, they won, and in victory formed a stable, lasting republic.
