This series explores, with stunning video footage, the range of underwater habitats that make up our fragile blue planet. Despite making up 70% of the Earth our oceans are still poorly understood. David Attenborough and his BBC team do an excellent job of educating us about the interactions that are taking place in the depths of the oceans and in the shallows of coral reefs. The final episode should be required viewing for everyone. It tells of the immediate issues that need to be addressed if we are to restore the health of the oceans. A place that provides over half the oxygen that we breathe has to be a top priority. David Attenborough tells us how we all can help. There is no time to waste - reduce your carbon dioxide output to cut back on global warming and ocean acidification and use less plastic which has proved a major hazard to ocean life.

The outstanding wildlife footage that we have come to expect from David Attenborough BBC TV series is evident in abundance in this underwater adventure that explores ocean habitats ranging from the depths of the Antarctic to the shallows of warm tropical reefs. The good science It contains will be understood by all ages. While being impressed visually, and being endeared and educated by the stories told, we are also made aware of the vital importance of the oceans that make up 70% of our blue planet. Their health is vital to all life on Earth from acting as a food source to providing over half the oxygen that we breathe. We are urged to take more care of our oceans.
