Many endangered animals are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one of the most effective conservation laws in the United States. Using science-based management plans, it has prevented the extinction of 99% of the species it protects. Part of the "Endangered Ocean" series.

Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Captures the ecological balance established between animals and plants on a Caribbean coral reef. Details the symbiotic and commensally symbiotic relationships along with the predator/prey relationship.
The North Atlantic right whale got its name from whalers. The whales were easy targets to hunt since they travel slowly and spend a lot of time at the surface. For whalers they were the “right” whales to hunt. With fewer than 400 left, they are now the “right” whales to save. Part of the "Endangered Ocean" series.
Over the past 200 years, more than two trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide have been poured into the atmosphere. This episode illustrates that carbon dioxide isn't just changing the climate on land. It's transforming the ocean in ways that haven't been seen for millions of years. Scientists around the world are in a race to understand these changes and what they will mean for thousands of species. Part of the "One Ocean" series.
Goes in search of sustainable solutions. In the Canary Islands, fishermen use rod and line for a valuable species and only take fully mature fish. In Oman, the authorities will only allow fishermen to use one kind of boat and net, and they strictly monitor the catches. Leading decision-makers describe how drastic action must be taken to protect wild stocks and ecosystems, but almost nowhere are measures being taken that help alleviate the crisis. Part one of this series explores the state of global fisheries.
This episode reveals the devastating impact of human activity on the ocean, focusing on the Mediterranean's contentious bluefin tuna fishery and the Gulf of Mexico's massive deoxygenated dead zones. It also celebrates various conservation efforts and sustainable practices. Part of the "One Ocean" series.
Scientists have long chalked up ocean mixing of salt, heat, nutrients, and gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, to wind and tides. New research is investigating another possible contributor: krill. Mixing ocean water may seem like a big job for such a tiny creature, but krill are a force of nature when they migrate in giant swarms to feed at night. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
The seafloor has a diverse landscape, which includes underwater lakes and rivers. How is that possible? Well, these lakes and rivers form when seawater seeps up through thick layers of salt, which are present beneath the seafloor. As the water seeps up, it dissolves the salt layer, causing it to collapse and form depressions. The dissolved salt makes the water denser, and because it is denser than the water around it, it will settle into the depressions, forming a river or lake. Part of the "Deep Sea Dive" series.
The climate of the ocean may not be as harsh as once thought. Maritime archaeologists are discovering well-preserved ship wrecks. These sites are providing information about cultures, technologies, and histories of past civilizations. Part of the "Adventures of a Maritime Archaeologist" series.
Host Jeff Corwin races to the west coast to uncover the secrets behind a marine mammal disaster. Thousands of weak sea lion pups have been stranded along beaches throughout Southern California. Jeff is on a mission of research, rescue, and recovery.
How does seafood get from the ocean to the plate? This video shows the journey U.S. seafood makes to get to the tables of hungry seafood lovers. Viewers are also given tips for making sustainable food choices.
The scientific team visits the Chagos Archipelago, a tropical paradise with some of the healthiest coral reefs on the planet. They want to study reefs seemingly untouched by man but instead become witnesses to a bleaching incident that transforms the reefs right before their eyes. Part of the "Global Reef Expedition" series.
Marvie is so excited to show the new video she found. It is about Seanna, the shark, and her underwater friends. Part of the "Marvie" series.
In this episode, a team of scientists, ranging from biologists to volcanologists, embark on an international expedition to the Mariana Arc on the Pacific Rim of Fire. Each day they make new discoveries about outlandish deep-sea dwellers and dramatic underwater volcanoes. But even as the scientists catalog these new findings, industrial fisheries are delving further into deep waters in an attempt to replace diminishing fish stocks. Part of the "One Ocean" series.
In this special episode, host Jeff Corwin dives alongside brave men and women of our armed forces who were injured in the line of duty. As these wounded veterans experience the wonder of Georgia Aquarium and swim alongside giant whale sharks, they also find the strength to heal. Jeff makes new friends, listens to heroic stories, and reminds us all to never forget the people who keep our country safe.
Jeff's ship arrives in Vigo, Spain where he discovers an ancient civilization that once thrived along this dramatic coastline. Then, he experiences the local seafood culture firsthand by harvesting mussels, before scrambling the rocky coastline with a spear to gather a prized delicacy. Part of the "Ocean Treks With Jeff Corwin" series.
Rented by the BP Oil Company to drill an oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explodes on April 20, 2010. It sinks into the ocean and causes a gigantic oil spill. At issue is negligence in the maintenance and in the tests carried out. On September 19, after months of unsuccessful attempts, the spill is finally declared sealed. However, this incident has generated the largest marine oil disaster in history. Part of the "Butterfly Effect" series.
Host Jeff Corwin travels to Ketchikan, Alaska where he embarks on a mission to catch chinook. In addition, Jeff experiences Ketchikan's Native-American heritage when he learns about the art of totem pole carving. Part of the "Ocean Treks With Jeff Corwin" series.
Revolutionary technologies now make it possible to harness a completely renewable energy resource-the natural power of the sea. Explores ways that electric power can be drawn from tidal forces or from fluctuations in ocean currents. Highlights several innovations, including a tide-driven rotor off the coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom, a multi-rotor locks system in the English Channel, an OTEC (i.e., ocean-thermal energy conversion plant) in southern Japan, and another OTEC facility in Hawaii. Commentary from the inventors, designers, and managers of these systems is included along with animation that illustrates how each mechanism works.
Jeff Corwin embarks on an amazing journey along the Mae Klong River in Thailand to see the elusive and mysterious freshwater giant stingray. Collaborating with local scientist Dr. Nantarika Chansue, Jeff and the team catch a huge 800-pound stingray for their research and monitoring project. During the health exam, the team discovers this stingray is pregnant ensuring future generations of this amazing species. Part of the "Ocean Mysteries" series.
