Season 2

The Baltic Sea, mysterious beauty in the heart of Europe. This unique habitat stretches from the chalk cliffs on Rügen in the south to the Arctic Circle in the north: an intermediate world of fresh and salt water in which only the most adaptable can survive. Together with the marine biologist Uli Kunz, we travel from the Gulf of Finland in the east to the Kattegat in the west, from the Greifswald Bodden in the south to the coasts in the far north of Scandinavia. We explore life above and under water and show the unknown sides of our well-known sea.

The North Sea – a wilderness right on our doorstep. Between the Wadden Sea and the high seas, fjords and cliffs is the home of more than 10,000 species of flora and fauna. This makes the North Sea one of the most biologically productive marine regions in the world – and also one of the most intensively used by man. Uli Kunz has been working here for over ten years as a marine biologist and research diver – and is constantly making new and surprising discoveries.
