Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko is enjoying the seashore on the beach when Mei-Lei comes to get him to go fishing. They sail out into the sea and in the distance Moko sees what looks like a hill. Mei-Lei tells him that is actually a giant wave! All of a sudden, the tsunami lifts their boat high into the air and propels it forward. The wave crashes down and drops their boat right at the entrance to the village. Moko believes that they were kept safe because he knew to trust the ocean.

The National Science Foundation in cooperation with the Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC) and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks has successfully launched the R/V Sikuliaq, a next-generation global class research vessel. MMC is the Wisconsin shipyard that built the ship, with funding provided by NSF through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. UAF's School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences will operate the ship as part of the U.S. academic research fleet. The new vessel's name, Sikuliaq, pronounced “see-KOO-lee-ack,” is an Inupiat word meaning young sea ice. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei head off to the forest to pick some plants that can't be found anywhere else. Moko is following Mei-Lei's lead as she knows what to do. She picks a leaf and lets it float away, and Moko picks it up. All of a sudden, both his feet sink into the quicksand and he can't get free. Some fishermen come to his rescue and they pull him to safety. Moko and Mei-Lei head back towards the village thinking that the forest is jealous and possessive, since it clearly wanted to keep every leaf and every plant for itself.

He wakes Mei-Lei so she can help him row, but it is no use, the barge starts moving in the opposite direction. In the distance they notice a fisherman and try to call out to him, but he is too far and cannot hear them. Beyond a huge boulder they see a forest and start rowing furiously in its direction. Finally ashore, Moko and Mei-Lei think that the sea still had another secret in store for them, this new part of Mei-Lei's island.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko wants to head off and tells Totemie that he must find the end of the world. But a fisherman tells them that no one will find what it is that they seek unless they have passed by the blue holes, or underwater cave. Moko doesn't understand but follows the path of a mysterious and immense blue hole in the middle of the ocean. This is when strange things begin happening. The sea is swirling and the sky changes color. Strange lights appear in front of their raft, then disappear. They get the impression that they are flying high above the ocean, then mysteriously they find themselves back on the beach. Moko remembers his first trip and thinks that this must be the heart of the ocean beating for his old friend.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Alarick's country is very strange. It has been many days now that night has not fallen, and no one seems to be worried. Moko decides to head towards the horizon to see what is keeping the sun from setting and Alarick goes with him. Along the way, Moko tries to lull the sun to sleep with a lullaby from his country. The sun looks like it will set, but stops short and rises again. Perhaps the ocean is frozen at the horizon and is keeping the sun from setting. He decides to ask the fishermen and one of them responds that the world is filled with such mysteries and that it is more precious for him to learn the secrets of his friend than that of the sun.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei are gathering seashells in between the rocks on the white sand beach to decorate the village's houses. Moko asks Mei-Lei if they can go to other beaches to try to find other shells. Mei-Lei likes the idea and goes to ask a fisherman to take them to another beach on his boat. Just beyond the village Moko sees a vast plain that has been flooded with water. He thinks this must have been the great wave, flooding the field with water so that the rice would grow. This is when Mei-Lei picks up a magnificent seashell and Moko believes that it must surely be a gift from the ocean. Moko and Mei-Lei make their way back home, carrying their gift and happy to have seen wonderful new places. They are certain that the ocean must know an underground passage in which it sends waves every now and then to feed the rivers and the fields.
