Categorie: Natuur

An exploration of the profound effect that man is having on the Mediterranean Sea. Western civilisation developed around its shores, but now human activity is threatening to destroy it. The team - expedition leader Paul Rose, environmentalist Philippe Cousteau Jr, maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue and marine biologist and oceanographer Tooni Mahto - investigate how the Mediterranean gave rise to one of Europe's first superpowers by diving the remains of a Roman shipwreck. They brave the treacherous waters of the Straits of Messina to search for one of the largest predatory sharks in the world, the prehistoric sixgill shark.
