Plot summary
The survey treats the world's oceans as one interconnected ocean, on which all life depends. Researchers catalog and track whales. Oceanographers study humpback whales, jellyfish and deep-sea life. A Coast Guard rough-weather rescue squad and a deep-ocean research team are part of the survey. In the Central Pacific, the Palau Islands hold a saltwater lake with an unusual variety of jellyfish. The images show unspoiled, healthy waters, and productive scientific efforts are presented as reason for hope that the ocean can recover.
