Oceans Alive! (Parts 1-4)
Oceans Alive! encourages students to ask questions and share their experiences about the sea. Programs show life from all of the world's oceans. Topics explore aspects of sea animal and plant life, the structure of natural sea communities, and the relationship of humans to the sea. Filmed in the wild, the series goes to great lengths to show marine life in its natural habitat. Filming sites include the Red Sea, Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, Grand Cayman Islands, Florida, Costa Rica, and the Sea of Cortez.
