BBC Making Scotland's Landscape 3 of 5 The Sea 

Amazing writing and photography. This is information-rich. Well-worth watching and learning from.

that was so informative and the photography was so good. What can I say it was just a wunderfull doccumentry and I will pass it on to my friends

thank you for a wonderful show its a good lesson for the people of Australia

You have the gift of telling the unblemished truth about the history of Scotland without assigning blame and developing a sense of realistic expectations for the future in an audience.

Very powerful documentory!

This is a really distinguished series, beautifully made.

Thanks for uploading these.

I have no words...

Thankyou for uploading this. This story is the same over most of the planet where industrial corporations trawl in ever-increasing amounts, and the outlook is bleak. It's not that "we cant see under the sea, so it's out of mind"; the sea is getting the same treatment as everywhere humans are exploiting the environment. If some people make a lot of money from it, any ecology will be absolutely decimated. Only where the damage is so casual that it's basically only from sheer laziness (and not monetary gain) do you have a chance of saving species - or at least without legal intervention.

"With this wind, it [North Rona] must have been a noisy old place to be."

Great documentary...please share and spread the word. Conservation is the only sane way forward and our responsibility to right the wrongs of the past. Support your local efforts.

Wonder why anyone would believe that the supply of fish could never be over exploited.

I love these little documentaries...by the way, where can I find the soundtrack? The music is WONDERFUL!!

We must preserve the fishing stocks around our coast for the good of future generations.

I love my oysters but I don't want to eat myself out of oysters.

when the last animal of a species dies that species will suffer never more

Im watching this for school lol

With all of the damage done over the past 2 centuries, leaving the majority of the ocean environment around the North sea a virtual desert, the utterly weak and feeble response of setting aside 1 square mile of ocean in a cove as a conservation zone is laughable and even insulting to the people in charge of such things. How on earth does anyone expect the tens of millions of square miles of habitat that has been destroyed to revive from this pitiful concession. I would like to see all of the trawlers and industrialized operations made open game for a few seasons and let these butchers try to recover from the onslaught. What is the livelihood of a few hundred men and their boats compared to the future of the ocean and all that live in it?
