Red Sea Rift
Description
Thousands of miles of coral walls, atolls, fringing reefs, and sheltered lagoons give the Red Sea some of the most spectacular underwater landscapes on Earth. From the trigger and goatfish of the plankton-rich southern waters around the Farasan Islands, to the garden eels anchored in the sandy-bottomed reef shelf in the north, this film explores the wondrous life that exists in the depths of the Red Sea. Watch as schools of giant manta rays gather to feed on reef-generated plankton-their feeding behavior has never been filmed before. The lifecycle of the recently discovered Midas blenny is also documented.
