Discover earth's shallow seas

MANILA, Philippines - Tomorrow night at 10, discover the world in our planet’s shallow seas, where the vast majority of marine life on earth thrives as GMA News TV airs another

Planet Earth

series titled

Shallow Seas.

Narrated in Filipino by news anchor and environmentalist Raffy Tima, the episode uncovers mysterious giant colonies of seabirds nesting in the baking desert in Bahrain and ingenious surfing dolphins, that have learned to hydroplane right up onto the beach to catch their fish.

The coral reefs in tropical Indonesia reveal that they are one of the richest in the world. They are home to fantasy-like creatures such as the head-butting pygmy seahorse, the flashing “electric” clam and bands of 30-strong sea snakes, which have never been filmed before as they hunt in packs, using cunning strategy.

New underwater time lapse photography developed for Planet Earth reveals extraordinary events normally too slow to register. Plagues of sea urchins fell great aquatic forests of giant kelp and star fish are shown on the rampage — including the world’s biggest, the giant sunflower starfish, a monster in its world.
