SOTS: CLIENT:

OFF THE EAST COAT OF AUSTRALIA, UP TO 200 KILOMETERS, A LINE OF SURF RISES OUT OF THE OPEN OCEAN.

BENEATH THE SURFACE, CREATING THESE BREAKING WAVES, IS THE MOST MAGICAL MARINE ENVIRONMENT ON EARTH. IT’S ONE OF THE SEVEN RECOGNIZED WONDERS OF THE NATURAL WORLD. THE GREAT BARRIER REEF!

STRETCHING FOR OVER 2000 KILOMETERS UP THE TROPICAL COAST OF AUSTRALIA…IT IS QUITE SIMPLY THE LARGEST LIVING STRUCTURE ON THE PLANET.

IT’S MADE UP OF ALMOST 3000 DIFFERENT REEFS, EACH ONE WITH A DIFFERENT PERSONALITY. AND IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST CORAL. BUT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF IS MOST FAMOUS FOR ITS UNDERWATER WORLD.

HERE, THERE IS MORE LIFE THAN ALMOST ANYWHERE ON EARTH. MANY OF THE CREATURES ARE EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL. BUT SOME SEEM STRAIGHT OUT OF SCIENCE FICTION…WHILE OTHERS CAN KILL IN AN INSTANT.
