Wild Ways Of The Coast
1 x 90’ or 1 x 60’, 2019, HD
To many life-forms, the border between land and sea is an invaluable habitat. From cliffs to tidepools, from reefs to sand dunes - all are home to members of the animal kingdom. It is an environment of extremes where seal colonies take advantage of the cool waters and the fish that congregate here. The seals attract predators, but the surrounding cliffs make an attack by predators unlikely. Some animals spend all of their lives here. But not all.
