From the coastal waters of Patagonia to the remote island of Madeira, this program explores the lives of whales navigating a rapidly changing ocean. Scientists race to understand an unprecedented gathering of endangered sei whales, while researchers uncover the growing threat of plastic pollution affecting marine mammals in even the most remote regions. Together, these films offer a powerful look at ocean giants and the urgent challenges they face, revealing both the mystery of their world and the responsibility to protect it.

In recent years, more than 2,500 endangered Sei whales started gathering in the San Jorge Gulf, just offshore from Comodoro Rivadavia in Patagonia. Typically an offshore, deep-water species, their unexpected concentration near the coast caused teams of local scientists and conservationists to study their behavior, understand the drivers behind this shift, and develop strategies to ensure their protection. – LJG
