Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,520
The Great Barrier Reef is huge.
2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,840
It stretches for over 2,000km along
Australia's north-east coast.
3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,800
It's so vast,
it's clearly visible from space.
4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,040
And it's not simply
a collection of coral gardens,
5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,720
but a network of very
different habitats.
6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,640
It means there's a complexity
of life here
7
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,040
on a scale found almost nowhere else
in the world,
8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
and it doesn't exist in isolation.
9
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,160
Violent storms are unwelcome
visitors.
10
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,960
And ocean voyagers arrive
here from many parts of the globe.
11
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,920
The Great Barrier Reef is such
a rich system that
12
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,760
animals are drawn in from the vast
empty spaces of the open ocean,
13
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,800
from the tiniest plankton
to ocean giants.
14
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,240
It means that the Great Barrier
Reef's an international hub,
15
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,200
home to some of the greatest
wildlife spectacles on Earth.
16
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,920
This green turtle's
a summer visitor.
17
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,640
She's travelled hundreds
of kilometres across the ocean
18
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,280
and she's heading to the very beach
where she was born.
19
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,320
The turtle's come to lay her eggs
20
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,920
and she's not alone.
21
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Out here, on the edge of the reef,
22
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,600
she's joined by thousands more
female turtles.
23
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,040
They're all driven by the
same instinct,
24
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,800
to return home to nest.
25
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,720
It's the largest breeding population
of green sea turtles in the world.
26
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,520
After her long journey,
27
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
she takes a few days to rest and
recover.
28
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Butterfly fish provide a cleaning
service,
29
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,400
clearing away dead skin and the
parasites acquired
30
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,680
from many months at sea.
31
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
It's always exciting to see
32
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,720
a large animal in the sea
33
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,600
and of course the turtle is a very
iconic species in the marine world
34
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,800
and I'm surrounded by them on this
dive,
35
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,080
hundreds and hundreds of turtles in
the water column above me,
36
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,440
passing over the reef crest and out
in the blue water.
37
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000
The turtles all converge
on small islands
38
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,920
made of coral rock and sand, known
as coral cays,
39
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880
but not all are suitable
for nesting,
40
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,080
some are sandbanks exposed
only at low water,
41
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,320
and many others have beaches
that are swamped at high tide.
42
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,200
Islands with deep sand
43
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,280
and a covering of vegetation are
more stable
44
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,840
and one island in particular
seems just right.
45
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,640
In the far north of the
Great Barrier Reef is Raine Island.
46
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680
It's so wild and so special,
47
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,760
that few people are permitted
to land.
48
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,360
It's one of the most protected
islands on Earth.
49
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,000
This speck in the ocean is
barely a kilometre long,
50
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,880
yet it attracts thousands of turtles
and enormous flocks of seabirds.
51
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,440
The birds have flown in from
New Guinea and Japan to the north,
52
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,960
Fiji to the east
53
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,880
and even from the Asian mainland
thousands of kilometres away.
54
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,640
In summer, Raine Island's the most
crowded destination on
55
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,480
the Great Barrier Reef.
56
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760
It may look chaotic,
but there's some order here.
57
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,440
Brown boobies are everywhere
58
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,840
but other species prefer
specific nesting sites.
59
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,400
Red-footed boobies hang out
on branches,
60
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,040
a scarce commodity on
the outer reef.
61
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Caspian terns from Japan
nest on the sand.
62
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Frigate birds find
low-growing shrubs
63
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:20,040
and red-tail tropic birds hide
amongst the limestone rocks.
64
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
The birds, like the turtles,
are here to breed.
65
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,160
But the turtles, unlike the birds,
66
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
are about to face the greatest
challenge
67
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080
of their visit to Raine Island.
68
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,000
By late afternoon,
69
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,360
they move towards the prime-nesting
beach that surrounds
70
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,320
the entire island.
71
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,280
All around me it's like the troops
are massing,
72
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,280
the landing force is preparing
itself and I can see
73
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:12,600
heads popping up, the dark shapes
moving in the shallows
74
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,080
and then a glistening back will
appear.
75
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,440
This is the moment of transition
76
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,080
when they leave
the weightlessness of the sea.
77
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,520
The bulk of her heavy body
78
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,320
presses down on all her
vital organs.
79
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,400
She's beautifully adapted
to a life at sea
80
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,520
but ill-equipped to move
about on land.
81
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Her progress is slow
82
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
and probably painful.
83
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,520
It's quite common for 5,000 turtles
84
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,640
to emerge in one summer evening
85
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,440
but tonight is anything but
ordinary.
86
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,440
26,000 turtles are coming at the
island from all sides.
87
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,880
A world record.
88
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,520
It's going to be a long night.
89
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,880
These green turtles are only one
of the many visitors to the reef.
90
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Another ocean voyager is
heard before it's seen.
91
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800
WHALE CALLS
92
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
It's a dwarf minke whale,
93
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,240
one of the smallest of the great
whales.
94
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,560
The turtles have swum from as far
away
95
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,920
as islands in the South Pacific,
96
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,080
but the whales have travelled
considerably further,
97
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280
all the way from the Antarctic.
98
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,160
They come to the Ribbon Reefs,
99
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,760
south of Raine Island,
100
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,160
to calve in the warm,
tropical waters
101
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,240
or to mate.
102
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,240
Whale watching's become a local
tourist attraction
103
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
but some whales turn the tables,
104
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
they go people watching.
105
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,560
These are adolescent whales,
106
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:09,080
and they're extremely inquisitive.
107
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,960
The moment of the first encounter is
extraordinarily intense because
108
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,720
you see the animal materialise
beneath you.
109
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,560
The first thing you see is the white
stripe on the pectoral fin
110
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,040
and then the water seems to
solidify.
111
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,680
This is a big animal,
five or six tonnes,
112
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,440
and then you gradually
see it turn
113
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,960
and the eye focuses on you
and you focus on the eye.
114
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,760
The animals are plainly studying you
115
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,600
and gradually getting closer and
closer.
116
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,440
You're an object of curiosity
to this whale
117
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,680
and it is a remarkable sensation.
118
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,040
By hanging onto the rope,
my position is predictable,
119
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
so the whales are quite unafraid.
120
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,040
The mechanical
twang of their call
121
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,640
is so powerful you feel it
rather than hear it.
122
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Being on nodding terms with a minke
whale is a whole new experience.
123
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,680
And to be here not on ours
124
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,440
but on their terms is quite amazing,
125
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,240
to be in the audience
of the ultimate underwater ballet.
126
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,480
More musical sounds announce the
arrival of even bigger whales.
127
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Humpbacks.
128
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,680
They're one of ten species of whale
that visits the reef each year.
129
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,400
They were once hunted, almost to
extinction,
130
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,760
but numbers here have bounced back
to 15,000,
131
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,680
about half the
pre-whaling population.
132
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,440
Like minkes, humpbacks come up from
the Antarctic to mate and to calve.
133
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920
This mother gave birth a couple
of weeks ago,
134
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,960
and already her calf weighs over
two tonnes
135
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,560
and is more than six metres long.
136
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,040
For the turtle mother,
137
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,280
the final and what may turn out to
be the most arduous part
138
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,880
of her journey, has only just begun.
139
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,080
With thousands of turtles
arriving at the same time,
140
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,760
their trails criss-cross the sand
like tank tracks on a battlefield.
141
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,840
There are just too many
turtles for the space available.
142
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,240
She spends much of the night
143
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,160
heaving her bulk back and forth
across the sand,
144
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120
searching for a
vacant nest site.
145
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Such is their enthusiasm
for digging,
146
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,320
neighbours are in real
danger of being buried alive.
147
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,600
Some even dig up eggs that have
already been laid.
148
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,840
After several hours searching,
149
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,080
the female finds a suitable place,
150
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
where the sand is still moist.
151
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Her flippers may be
a liability for moving on land,
152
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,200
but now they come into their own.
153
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,040
Using her front flippers,
154
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,280
she first digs a protective
hollow for herself.
155
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Then, with her back flippers,
156
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,320
she delicately scoops out a
deep pit.
157
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Each one of her
clutch of 100 eggs is
158
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,400
the size of a ping-pong ball.
159
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,240
A soft shell prevents them from
breaking as they drop into the hole.
160
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,360
When she's finished, she'll cover
the nest
161
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,960
and over the coming weeks her eggs
will incubate in the warm sand.
162
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,520
This is a deeply private
moment for this turtle
163
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,640
and I do feel I'm rather intruding.
164
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,440
You can see she is flicking
sand to fill the hole
165
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,400
and very successfully flicking
it straight in my face as well.
166
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,560
But this is a huge physiological
effort for this animal
167
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,000
you will see the turtle... Oh!
Good one, right in my eye.
168
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,360
That was right on the button.
169
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:43,160
I think I'm going to take
the subtle hint
170
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,440
that I should leave her alone to
get on with it.
171
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,040
By morning, she joins the mass
evacuation of the island.
172
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Most of the exhausted turtles head
back to the sea at the same time,
173
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000
so there's an even bigger
pile-up at the water's edge
174
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,040
than when they arrived.
175
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560
But quite a few
stragglers are left behind.
176
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200
It's been an absolutely
exhausting night
177
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,560
for any of the turtles
that you can see behind me.
178
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,080
In fact, you can make out this old
girl here is absolutely shattered.
179
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,440
She's completely spent and she is
desperately trying
180
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,160
to get back into the sea
before the heat of the sun kicks in.
181
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,200
For the last to leave,
it's a race against time.
182
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,320
In a couple of hours the temperature
on the sand will soar.
183
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,480
And, on one part of the island,
there's a major obstacle that
184
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,000
wasn't there when they arrived.
185
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,920
Rocks exposed at low tide
186
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,040
make the return to water anything
but easy.
187
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Being reptiles,
188
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,400
sea turtles have little control
over their body temperature.
189
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,040
There's no shade anywhere,
190
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,360
so those left on the beach risk
being cooked alive.
191
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,840
For the unlucky few
192
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,680
this is the last journey
they'll ever make.
193
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Every turtle that leaves the
sanctuary of the ocean
194
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,680
is taking a gamble.
195
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,560
And it's a knife edge
whether they will live or die
196
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,480
and obviously for this turtle that
gamble didn't pay off.
197
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,240
There's a number of factors that
can kill them,
198
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,960
it can be exhaustion, it could be
overheating
199
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,600
or it could be being buried, which
may have happened in this case,
200
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,880
by other turtles laying their eggs.
201
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,240
If turtles trapped by the rock wall
can make it to a pool,
202
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,720
they might survive.
203
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,400
The seawater cools their bodies.
204
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,600
All they have to do is
wait for the incoming tide
205
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,760
and whatever that will bring.
206
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Raine Island is part of the outer
barrier reef,
207
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,400
so it's right next to
the open ocean.
208
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Here the mottled hues of the shallow
reef meet the dark blue of deep sea.
209
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:13,040
The reef wall plunges
down vertically
210
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,320
to the ocean floor
1,000 metres below.
211
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,040
It's here that reef life and
creatures of the deep coexist.
212
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,720
For migration to the reef is not
only from across the ocean,
213
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,600
it's also up from the depths.
214
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,760
As a diver I can explore the first
100 metres or so.
215
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,880
It's a very contrasting face
216
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,080
to the gloriously kaleidoscopic
world of the upper reef
217
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,640
and the dark, cold,
echoing world of deeper water.
218
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,120
So, to see what's living down there,
219
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,360
we need a remotely operated
vehicle, an ROV.
220
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,840
It enters an alien world,
221
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,160
pitch black,
with crushing water pressures.
222
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,880
And extremely cold.
223
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,160
At four degrees,
it's the same temperature
224
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,200
as the sea in the Antarctic.
225
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,880
The ROV reaches a depth of
800 metres,
226
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,320
not quite at the bottom,
but not far off.
227
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
A pile of coral sand at the base
of the reef wall
228
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,640
slopes gently into the abyss,
229
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,280
and here we find
signs of real deep-sea creatures.
230
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,920
Some, like this sea anemone,
are familiar.
231
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Others are less well known,
like this chambered nautilus.
232
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,160
It's an ancient relative of octopus
and squid,
233
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,360
a living fossil, the last survivor
of a group of animals
234
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:47,680
that dominated the world's oceans
500,000,000 years ago.
235
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,640
It moves around by jet propulsion,
236
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,200
squirting water backwards, in order
to go forwards.
237
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,680
At night,
it's the nautilus's turn to migrate.
238
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,640
It swims up towards the surface
239
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,640
to feed on shrimps beside the
reef wall,
240
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,920
returning back down during the day.
241
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520
This is a baby nautilus,
242
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,640
the first time
one's been filmed in the wild.
243
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,800
It's no bigger
than a two-pound coin,
244
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,440
yet it makes the same daily
up and down journey
245
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,440
as its plate-sized parents.
246
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,480
But that pales into insignificance
when compared
247
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,720
to the daily vertical migration
248
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,080
of these microscopic animals
called zooplankton.
249
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,080
At sunset,
250
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,160
all of these tiny creatures
swim upwards,
251
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,280
and, under cover of darkness,
252
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,720
they graze on floating algae close
to the surface.
253
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,000
Many of them are fish larvae.
254
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,240
In fact, almost every fish species
on the Great Barrier Reef
255
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,880
starts life in the plankton.
256
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,600
There are billions upon
billions of them
257
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,520
making the roundtrip, the greatest
daily migration on Earth.
258
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,320
They all travel an extraordinary
distance,
259
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:51,440
size for size, it would be like me
running a marathon twice a day.
260
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,520
That's if they're not caught
on the way up.
261
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,520
On the reef wall,
at about 150 metres deep,
262
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,120
are huge sea fans.
263
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:07,280
They look like plants, but they're
colonies of animals,
264
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,400
whose branching arms capture
the rising plankton.
265
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,160
Hidden amongst the branches is
a pygmy seahorse.
266
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,520
It's a tiny fish that also
feeds on plankton.
267
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,760
At little more than a centimetre
long, fully grown,
268
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,600
it's one of the world's
smallest fish.
269
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,200
Contrast that with this monster,
270
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,840
a tiger shark.
271
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,640
Like the tiniest marine life,
272
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,520
it too rises up
from the ocean's depths,
273
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,320
but, unlike the plankton,
it's planning to stay a while.
274
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Tiger sharks travel over 800km
to reach Raine Island,
275
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,320
and each year they
show up at exactly the same time,
276
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,520
the time when turtles are nesting.
277
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Turtles trapped in rock pools begin
to refloat on the incoming tide.
278
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,960
For some, it's a second chance.
279
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Now all this female must do is cross
the lagoon to reach the reef edge
280
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,680
and the safety of the open ocean.
281
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,880
But swimming in with the incoming
tide is her number-one predator.
282
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,400
It's crossed the reef
and is heading towards the beach.
283
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,440
A tiger shark could
dismember this turtle
284
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,320
and can even saw through her shell.
285
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,960
She's on high alert.
286
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,160
She turns and tilts rapidly,
287
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,280
presenting her widest profile.
288
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,280
It's too much of a mouthful
for the shark,
289
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,040
but the tiger shark doesn't
give chase.
290
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,480
It can't be bothered.
291
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,320
There's a much easier way
to get a meal.
292
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,960
It's been waiting
for fresh turtle carcasses
293
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,720
to float out on the rising tide.
294
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,840
To predict such an event is
an amazing thing for a shark to do.
295
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,000
This is no mindless killer,
this shark is smart.
296
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,960
It pitches up at the peak
of the turtle nesting season
297
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,280
and simply waits for the tide
to deliver its food.
298
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Ah, look at that.
299
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,160
So distinctive,
300
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,520
right under the boat.
301
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,360
Tigers have been found with all
matter of interesting things
302
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,480
in their stomachs and,
as an opportunistic predator,
303
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,720
she's come in and had a look at
the boat a little look at me.
304
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200
Just a nudge of the boat.
She's using the nose,
305
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,280
all those senses packed into
the nose, to try and figure out
306
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,520
what we are and what I am. And now
she's heading back to the carcass.
307
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,640
I hope.
308
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Watch this bite.
309
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,640
Good grief! What she is doing now is
sawing using the weight of her body.
310
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,040
These are huge, bulky animals
311
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,040
and you get a lot of torsion
with that weight.
312
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,200
And with that torsion she'll clamp
the jaws on to the flipper or head
313
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,680
and just rip from side to side
and the mechanical action
314
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,120
and the cutting action of the teeth
will tear lumps of flesh off.
315
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Vibrations from the commotion
and the odour of mashed turtle flesh
316
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,120
are carried on the currents,
attracting more sharks to the feast.
317
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,200
But, this is no feeding frenzy.
318
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600
Sharks of this size could do
each other real damage,
319
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,760
so instead they take it in turns,
320
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,040
with smaller sharks
deferring to the larger ones.
321
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,400
Tiger sharks are generally solitary,
322
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,920
so this gathering of 16
is extremely unusual.
323
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,040
This is the largest number
of tiger sharks seen in one place
324
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,920
at any one time.
325
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,080
When you hunt the dead,
there's no need to hurry.
326
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,360
It means the living
can slip away, for now.
327
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,440
She'll not go far,
for she'll be back again,
328
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,360
up to eight times during a single
breeding season
329
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,560
to deposit up to 100 eggs
on each visit.
330
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,600
Only then can she head back
to her feeding grounds,
331
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,200
where who knows what will
happen to her.
332
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,760
Away from the Great Barrier Reef,
sea turtles are caught to eat.
333
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,440
And sharks aren't immune either.
334
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,920
These tiger sharks bear the scars
of hooks from long-line fishing.
335
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,600
It's not surprising then
336
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160
that the older sharks
are conspicuous by their absence.
337
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,160
While at Raine Island, the sharks
and turtles are in a sanctuary,
338
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,760
but even sanctuaries
can come under threat.
339
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Although not necessarily from us.
340
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,760
Brief thunderstorms are a welcome
break from the heat and humidity,
341
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,720
but they can also
build into the mother of all storms.
342
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,600
The summer heats up the ocean,
343
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,200
creating tropical storms that
spiral in from the Coral Sea.
344
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,200
In America, storms of this
intensity are known as hurricanes,
345
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,840
and in Japan they're called
typhoons.
346
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,440
But here they're known as cyclones.
347
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,400
A cyclone can be over 500km across,
348
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,600
with winds swirling around the eye
at 300km per hour.
349
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,960
It's the most destructive force
the Great Barrier Reef must face.
350
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,480
And in February 2011,
351
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,680
this part of the reef was hammered
352
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,360
by the biggest storm
in living memory,
353
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Cyclone Yazi.
354
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,680
'This is a special broadcast of
9 News with Peter Overton.
355
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,400
'Live in the cyclone...'
356
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,920
'Good evening and welcome to

363
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:43,120
Daybreak exposed the ferocity
of Cyclone Yazi.
364
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,120
'We are expecting to wake up

'not only in Queensland,

367
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,440
Island resorts were destroyed.
368
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,360
And a massive storm surge
smashed into marinas,
369
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,880
demolishing everything it touched.
370
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,520
In the direct path of the cyclone,
371
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,440
waves pulverised the reef
372
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,800
and huge swells seriously
damaged corals 500km
373
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,800
from the eye of the storm.
374
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Cyclones form when humidity
and air temperature build,
375
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,240
but that's not the only time high
temperatures directly affect
376
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,080
the Great Barrier Reef.
377
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,040
In summer,
the air temperature can soar.
378
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,480
Close to the ground, heat reflected
by the sand compounds the problem.
379
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:09,440
On Raine Island, the turtle eggs
are incubating safely below ground
380
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,480
but for the seabird chicks, the cay
becomes a searing furnace.
381
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,400
Birds must find shelter wherever
they can.
382
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:23,320
Bizarrely, one option is to shade
your head with your own rear end.
383
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,400
But with global warming,
384
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,520
temperatures are increasingly higher
than the norm,
385
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,440
and then an unusually high water
temperature
386
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,320
can be just as
destructive as a storm.
387
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,360
An ominous white glow along the edge
of the reef
388
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,760
indicates it's under stress.
389
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,400
The corals have lost their colour.
390
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,080
This bleaching occurs
391
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,880
because corals can only
live in a narrow temperature range.
392
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,760
Healthy corals get their colour
from microscopic algae
393
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,200
living in their tissues.
394
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,960
These manufacture food for the
corals by photosynthesis
395
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,760
but when the temperature rises
396
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,440
just two degrees above the normal
summer maximum,
397
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,360
the algal cells are expelled
398
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,320
because they no longer
benefit the coral.
399
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,880
The bleaching effect is the white
chalky skeleton
400
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,440
showing through the coral's
transparent tissues.
401
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,840
But they're not dead. Not yet.
402
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,360
They can survive in this bleached
state for several weeks.
403
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,960
If the temperature drops,
404
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,560
the corals acquire new
algae from plankton floating by.
405
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,800
But, if the warm water persists,
the coral dies.
406
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,160
Coral bleaching hadn't been seen
on the Great Barrier Reef
407
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,720
before the 1980s.
408
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,560
Due to global warming,
bleaching's now more common
409
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,800
and cyclones are likely to be
more frequent too.
410
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,440
And there's something even
more insidious.
411
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,160
Temperatures are rising because
more and more carbon dioxide
412
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,920
from human activity enters
the atmosphere.
413
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,320
This dissolves in seawater turning
it weakly acidic,
414
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,000
which can stop coral growth.
415
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,560
If they can't build their chalky
skeletons,
416
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,440
reefs will start to crumble.
417
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,600
With such threats, it's a wonder
the reef has any future at all
418
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,040
but it does have a chance,
419
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,720
for the reef has a neat way
to help itself recover
420
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:06,680
and it's evident for just one
week in late spring.
421
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,200
A few days after a full moon,
422
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,400
each hard coral species,
along the entire reef,
423
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,640
spawns at the same time,
on the same night.
424
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,480
Eggs and sperm unite to form
free-swimming larvae.
425
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,240
Smaller than a pinhead, a coral
larva is a like a space capsule.
426
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:18,360
It floats away on the current
and seeks a new place to grow.
427
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,400
Some larvae travel no more
than a few metres
428
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,000
others drift thousands
of kilometres across the ocean,
429
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,840
depending on where
the current takes them.
430
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,160
Attracted to settle by the sounds
made by reef life,
431
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,200
like fish, shrimps or even sea
urchins,
432
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,680
the larvae searches
for a spot to call home.
433
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,920
It transforms into a coral polyp,
434
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,520
like a miniature sea anemone
anchored to the seabed
435
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,400
and here it starts a brand
new colony of coral.
436
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,200
This constant process of re-seeding
437
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,120
may help ailing reefs to recover,
438
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,760
as long the damage is not
too severe or too frequent.
439
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:51,880
Sunrise on Raine Island marks
another mass movement of wildlife.
440
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,120
The first light of dawn
is just touching the horizon.
441
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,400
And there's an exodus taking
place from the island.
442
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:14,160
The seabirds behind me just massing
prior to leaving the island
443
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,760
and heading out
to the open sea to hunt.
444
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,880
Both parents normally take turns
to search for food,
445
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,360
but as the chicks grow
and become more demanding
446
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,280
they both go to sea,
leaving their offspring on its own.
447
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:37,560
Along with other predators,
448
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:42,360
the parents search far
offshore for dense shoals of fish.
449
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,880
Here, sharks, tuna, and seabirds
are competing for
450
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,600
a tight ball of fish that'll last
just a few minutes.
451
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,280
The birds rely on sharks and tuna
452
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,080
to drive the smaller fish closer
to the surface.
453
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,880
Their chicks' very survival
depends on their success.
454
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,640
A hungry young booby waits patiently
for its parents to return.
455
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,360
This time it's lucky.
456
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,880
They've flown in
with plenty of food.
457
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,280
By late summer,
458
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,280
Raine Island is the largest nursery
on the Great Barrier Reef,
459
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,600
with seabird chicks growing
on top of the sand
460
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,360
and turtle eggs developing
underneath.
461
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,160
But Raine is not the only island
with nesting seabirds,
462
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,480
on Heron Island, shearwater parents
return not at sunset,
463
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,280
but after dark.
464
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,680
It's a hangover from times
465
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,360
when these birds nested
on islands with predators.
466
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,560
Flying in and out at night was one
way to avoid them.
467
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,240
Parents find each other in the dark
by their raucous calls.
468
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,920
The pair reaffirms its bond
before the returning bird
469
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,000
enters the underground nest.
470
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:12,880
Although there's a little
housekeeping to be done first.
471
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,840
Both parents share nursery duties,
472
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,280
and they take turns to fly great
distances in search of food.
473
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,000
They may be at sea for several days.
474
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,160
They leave as they arrived,
in the dark.
475
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,480
Well before sunrise,
476
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,880
they line up in clearings
like aircraft taxiing for takeoff.
477
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,360
And then it's away out to sea.
478
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,240
Back on Raine Island,
the very last birds to nest
479
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:01,280
are rufous night herons.
480
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,200
They haven't travelled far,
481
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,000
just out from the mainland
482
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,640
and they surely have the most
unattractive chicks on the reef.
483
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:21,800
They've hatched late in the season
for a very good reason,
484
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,080
because their food is not out
at sea, but right on the doorstep.
485
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:36,280
In late afternoon, the parent birds
take their positions.
486
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,600
They scan the sand,
alert to any movements.
487
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,800
At sunset, the temperature change
triggers the start.
488
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,720
It's what the herons have been
waiting for.
489
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,760
The clutch of turtle eggs
has been incubating
490
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,800
under the sand for two months.
491
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:14,000
At the right moment, the hatchlings
all emerge together.
492
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,840
They must reach the water
in the shortest possible time.
493
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,560
Baby turtles are food
for baby herons,
494
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,840
so the heron parents have
timed the peak of their nesting
495
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,720
to coincide
with this mass emergence.
496
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,200
Even ripples in the sand
497
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,600
slow the hatchling's headlong rush
to the sea.
498
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,000
It could mean the difference
between life and death.
499
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,480
But the herons have had their fill.
500
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,760
They simply couldn't eat another
baby turtle.
501
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,960
It's been a narrow
escape for this one.
502
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:31,680
The first wave of hatchlings
has taken the brunt of the attacks,
503
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,760
but the sacrifice of a few
hundred ensures
504
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,600
the following thousands have a
better chance to get to the sea
505
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,800
but some babies go the wrong
way, just like their mothers.
506
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,360
The wall of rock's an even bigger
obstacle for the hatchling
507
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,600
than it was for the adult.
508
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,480
And there's something even more
sinister up ahead.
509
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,440
Rock crabs,
510
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,440
they like baby turtles too.
511
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,360
Their powerful pincers can tear
a hatchling limb from limb.
512
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,840
Another lucky escape
but there's still a way to go yet.
513
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,920
Come on, little fella!
Keep going, keep going!
514
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,840
It's a delicious little
package of protein.
515
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,280
It's made the difficult
and dangerous journey
516
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,440
from the dunes there
and it's still going and,
517
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,320
of course, this transition
into the marine environment
518
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,400
doesn't mean this hatchling is safe.
519
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,360
It faces a whole new set of hazards
520
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,760
as it tries to swim out,
over the reef top.
521
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,880
Everything out there is waiting
for these hatchlings.
522
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:54,800
He's nearly there,
that tiny, tiny, little turtle
523
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,240
and that's a huge expanse of ocean.
524
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,720
Exactly where this little hatchling
goes is a mystery.
525
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:15,040
But she'll be at sea and she'll
not return to Raine Island
526
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,560
before her 30th birthday,
527
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,560
when she'll come back to lay eggs
on the same beach
528
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,840
that she's leaving today.
529
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,760
That's if she survives in an
uncertain and often hostile world.
530
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,240
Raine Island has the biggest
concentration of wildlife
531
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:41,520
on the Barrier Reef, but
many of its animals are visitors
532
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,440
and at departure time they leave
behind the sanctuary
533
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,040
of one of the world's largest
marine parks.
534
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,280
The migrants cross
international borders
535
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,000
travelling to places
where animals are not protected.
536
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:04,840
It means their survival is linked
very much to events in other
537
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,240
parts of the world.
538
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:14,680
The Great Barrier Reef is still
an amazing place.
539
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,680
It's a magical, underwater world,
stunningly beautiful
540
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,320
and a never-ending source of wonder.
541
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,960
But how will it be
when our turtles return?
542
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,800
The reef has proved to be
resilient in the past,
543
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,280
surviving great natural changes.
544
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:45,720
But nothing like the pace
of man-made change today,
545
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,520
especially the pace
of climate change.
546
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,720
We've seen how the
Great Barrier Reef
547
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,520
is connected to
the rest of the world, in many ways.
548
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:04,520
It means we're all, no matter how
remote, involved in its future.
549
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,440
Now, only we can decide
what that future will be.
550
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,560
Whether it remains the glorious
marine spectacle of today,
551
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,520
one of the richest and most
diverse of all environments
552
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,960
and the largest biological structure
on the planet
553
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,880
or whether it become something
much poorer.
554
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,360
It's a future
that is entirely in our hands.
