👁The wild sex lives of marine creatures
🧠Luka Seamus Wright
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣On a reef in the Pacific Ocean, 17,000 camouflage groupers dart about in the cloudy water. It is, in fact, an underwater orgy— turned feeding frenzy. An orgy might seem like a rather flamboyant way to breed, but sex in the sea is a surprisingly inventive affair. So what other sneaky escapades are happening under the sea? Luka Seamus Wright offers a peek beneath the ocean's covers. [Directed by Michelle O'Connell and Lisa Vertudaches, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Phil Brookes].

👁These squids can fly... no, really
🧠Robert Siddall
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 1947, explorers noticed a strange phenomenon while crossing the Pacific Ocean. Somehow, small squid known to live deep beneath the waves kept appearing on the roof of their boat. The crew was mystified— until they saw the squids soaring above the sea for roughly 50 meters. How and why do these marine creatures take to the sky? Robert Siddall explores the high-flying capabilities of cephalopods. [Directed by Matt Reynolds, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Stephen LaRosa].

🧠Palau'nun Çocukları
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣The people of Palau -- a pristine ocean state made up of more than 300 islands in the western Pacific -- warmly welcome travelers to their home every year. But the guests don't always know how to protect the country's beautiful beaches and coral atolls. Enter the Palau Pledge: an environmental pledge that's now part of visitors' visas, where they promise to "tread lightly, act kindly and explore mindfully" -- while respecting the country's culture and heritage.

👁Why is this 2,500 year old shipwreck so well-preserved?
🧠Helen Farr ve Jon Adams
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 2017, researchers off the Bulgarian coast discovered the oldest intact shipwreck ever found. This ancient Greek vessel was not only nearly 2,500 years old, but was just one of 65 shipwrecks found at the bottom of the Black Sea in remarkable condition. So, why does the Black Sea contain so many well-preserved shipwrecks? Helen Farr and Jon Adams dive into the depths of the unique body of water. [Directed by Yuriy Polyashko, Darvideo Animation Studio, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen].

👁The ocean's ingenious climate solutions
🧠Susan Ruffo
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣The ocean is often thought of as a victim of climate change, in need of human protection. But ocean expert Susan Ruffo says that mindset needs to shift. From storing carbon to providing protection to coastal communities, Ruffo highlights the ocean's ready-made solutions to the climate crisis and asks: With more than eighty percent of the ocean still unexplored, what new solutions are waiting to be discovered?

👁The world's slimiest animal
🧠Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2017, a truck screeched to a halt. One of its containers slid off, hit a car, and spilled its contents— thousands of kilograms of hagfish. The result of this accident was an absolute mess: the highway was coated in a thick slime that took the fire department 7 hours to clear. How did these creatures create this stupendous supply of slime? Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge investigate. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁The outlaws of the ocean -- and how we're reeling them in
🧠Tony Long
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Pirate fishing, oil spills and other undetected crimes are destroying ocean ecosystems -- but we can't stop what we can't see. Harnessing the power of satellite data and AI to catch maritime offenders in the act, ocean conservation expert and 2023 Audacious Project grantee Tony Long introduces the first-ever live map of all industrial human activity at sea. He shares how his team at Global Fishing Watch is making it freely available to the world so conservationists, researchers and the public can help protect precious aquatic habitats. (This ambitious idea is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

👁Why did Megalodon go extinct?
🧠Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣20 million years ago, the ocean housed a creature so colossal that its stomach could reach volumes of almost 10,000 liters— big enough to fit an entire orca. It was the megalodon, the biggest shark to ever live. So, what was it like when megalodon ruled the seas? And what brought this formidable predator to extinction? Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento investigate. [Directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Cem Misirlioglu, WORKPLAYWORK].

👣Over the past two decades, jellyfish have begun to overwhelm our oceans. If things stay on their current trajectory, we could be headed for a future where the entire ocean is thick with jellyfish. So, is there anything that can keep these gelatinous creatures under control? Mariela Pajuelo and Javier Antonio Quinones take a look at the jellyfish's most ancient predator.

👁How advanced is whale talk?
🧠David Gruber and Shane Gero
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Soon after whaling ships began operating in the North Pacific, an interesting trend emerged. Within just a few years, whalers saw a 58% drop in their successful strikes. Sperm whales had suddenly become harder to kill— they had begun fleeing the boats instead of forming their usual defensive circles. Were whales communicating new strategies to each other? David Gruber and Shane Gero investigate. [Directed by Anna Benner, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Raphael Tschernuth].

👣Surveying his vast domain, Poseidon considers retirement. What if someone else donned the coral crown so he could spend his immortality harmonizing with whales and cozying up to hydrothermal vents? Poseidon decides he needs to prioritize himself for once. So, he summons his accountant and asks: how much could he sell the ocean for? Astrid J. Hsu conducts a financial analysis of our oceans’ worth. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu, Brooks Ball].

👁Why ocean currents are slowing — and what it means for you
🧠Susan Lozier
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Ocean waters are constantly on the move, traveling far distances in complex currents that regulate Earth's climate and weather patterns. How might climate change impact this critical system? Oceanographer Susan Lozier dives into the data, which suggests that ocean overturning is slowing down as waters gradually warm — and takes us on board the international effort to track these changes and set us on the right course while we still have time.

👁Why fish are better at breathing than you are
🧠Dan Kwartler
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Recent studies found that elite runners can take in twice as much oxygen as non-runners. And it’s likely that this superhuman ability played a role in breaking the two-hour marathon barrier in 2019. But when it comes to breathing efficiently, not even the best runners can compete with the average fish. What makes fish some of the best breathers on Earth? Dan Kwartler explores the science of gills. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁Why animals help each other
🧠Ashley Ward
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Charles Darwin introduced the notion of “survival of the fittest,” where the fittest animals are those who can survive long enough to produce healthy offspring. The fittest animal can also be the most stealthy, resourceful, or even the most cooperative. So what exactly does cooperation look like in the wild? Ashley Ward digs into the animal kingdom's capacity for generosity. [Directed by Sharon Colman, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁Why don’t we get our drinking water from the ocean?
🧠Manish Kumar
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Humans have been transforming seawater into potable freshwater for millennia. Today, billions of people can’t access clean drinking water, and 87 different countries are projected to be “water-scarce” by 2050. So, how can we use seawater desalination to combat water scarcity? And can we do it without further harming the environment? Manish Kumar digs into how scientists are creating freshwater.

👁Is this the grossest parasite?
🧠Niko Zlotnik
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣The infamous tongue-eating louse is one of nearly 400 species belonging to a family of fish parasites. Some latch onto their host’s head, others suck blood from fish gills, and others still burrow into fish flesh. But the Cymothoa exigua goes specifically for fish tongues. How do these parasites do it, and why? Niko Zlotnik explores the strategies tongue biters use to find a fish to call home.
