Wild Ocean--Each year a massive feeding frenzy takes place in the oceans of South Africa as an incredible diversity of sea life migrates up the wild coast, bringing sustenance to everyone. The ocean's food chain connects the tiniest organisms to the greatest whales, and predators of the sea thrive upon enormous shoals of pelagic fish. The cycle has continued and evolved over millions of years. As fishing communities pursue a sustainable future for all, businesses, government and local people in South Africa join forces with them to protect this great and invaluable migration!
