Did you know the beautiful coral formations you see while diving are living animals that breed, eat, and die - leaving behind skeletal structures that form the foundation of the ocean's reef ecosystems? Learn all about the fascinating life of corals and why their health is integral to the survival of the world's coastal regions.

Explore the colorful world of sea slugs and discover their complex reproductive strategies, unique defense mechanisms, feeding habits, and how they move across the seafloor. Learn about their relationships with other marine organisms and the crucial role they play in our coastal seas.

Rays have been around for hundreds of millions of years, yet we know surprisingly little about them including how old they get, when they mature, and how far they migrate. In this program, you'll explore what makes a ray a ray, locate where they live, discover what they eat, and learn how to identify one ray from the next.
