Two years ago, Blue Planet II
opened the world's eyes

to the wonders of our oceans.

From the vastness of the open seas.

To the fragility of the coral reefs.

And even the secrets of the deep.

It was a wake-up call -

our oceans are under
threat like never before.

So this week, we're embarking
on an ambitious mission -

joining scientists
across the planet,

working to save some
of our most iconic marine wildlife.

We'll be diving
with top predators of the Bahamas,

getting closer than ever before
to the giants of the Pacific Ocean.

And getting hands on
to save the Great Barrier Reef.

This is Blue Planet Live!

Heron Island is surrounded
by white sandy beaches,

which have been known to attract up
to 1800 green turtles

during the nesting season,
so it's the perfect location

to discover just how important these
visitors are to this reef.

But sea turtles also play
an incredibly important role

across all our oceans.

to our seas.

Here on Heron Island,
the green turtle population has

already faced some great challenges
in the past.

In the 1950s the island was home
to a turtle cannery,

to make turtle soup.

But turtle numbers plummeted
and the cannery was closed

16 years later soon
after Heron Island resort opened.

Since then the Queensland Parks
and Wildlife Service have been

monitoring the nesting population
and numbers have been recovering.

To find out just how important
Heron is to turtles,

I'm with Janine Ferguson.
