episode description
Seahorses are some of the most enchanting and mysterious creatures in the ocean. They are also in trouble, struggling to survive in threatened habitats around the world, while large-scale trading of seahorses for the traditional Chinese Medicine market goes unchecked. Meet the Seahorse Sleuths - scientists who are working to unlock the secrets of these elusive creatures so that they can save them from extinction. What happens when you flush the toilet? For most of us, what’s out of sight is out of mind. But large numbers of sewage spills around the world are forcing cities, water agencies and the public to take a closer look at wastewater and its impacts on the health of the ocean. Floating garbage is another, yet perhaps less known, harbour threat. Meet a group unheralded trash collectors who make it their business to remove tonnes of debris every month, from floating concrete to dead bodies.
