Hidden World: Elusive Creatures Living in Kelp Forests

#Ocean #KelpForest #seacreatures

The Pacific coast hides a massive, golden underworld that rivals any jungle on land. This documentary journeys through the towering kelp forests of the Channel Islands and the murky Emerald Sea of British Columbia. These vertical structures reach over three stories high, creating a complex habitat for some of the most specialized predators in the ocean. You will see the massive Northern Elephant Seal, a five-thousand-pound giant that can hold its breath longer than almost any other mammal. Deep within the rocks, six-foot moray eels and strange wolf eels wait for their next meal. From the fast-growing giant kelp that shoots up fourteen inches in a single day to the rare black sea bass making a slow return from the brink of extinction, this is a look at a fragile yet powerful ecosystem.
