S3.E1 ∙ Last Home of the Giants

Mon, Apr 06, 2015

Over 90% of the large fish in the ocean have been fished out. Thankfully, there are still a few remote places where the last remaining giants of the ocean thrive. Lying 550 km off the west coast of Costa Rica, Cocos Island is home to one of the richest marine habitats on Earth. The Water Brothers join a research expedition to this UNESCO World Heritage site to dive with the giants of Cocos Island and learn why it is so important for the ocean to have protected and thriving hotspots. Join the Brothers as they take viewers on an incredible journey

S3.E2 ∙ Underwater Highways

Mon, Apr 13, 2015

The Water Brothers continue their journey at Cocos Island and turn their attention to the migration patterns of the sharks and sea turtles that frequent this undersea wonderland. Working together with a team of dedicated marine biologists, the brothers tag and track these animals' movements to gather clues about their migration routes. The information gathered by the team will be critical in protecting these threatened creatures from fishermen lurking just beyond the parks borders.

S3.E4 ∙ Ocean of Energy

Mon, Apr 27, 2015

The ocean is one of the largest, untapped sources of clean energy on the planet. Tidal and wave power are two of the most exciting marine renewable energy solutions that are already generating electricity right now. The Water Brothers get to the heart of this burgeoning industry by investigating the state-of-the-art technologies being deployed off the rugged coasts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Their search takes them back to Canada to the site of the world's largest tides - in the Bay of Fundy - where they go rafting on massive tidal bores and discover the true potential of this Ocean of Energy.

S3.E5 ∙ The Least Deadliest Catch

Mon, May 04, 2015

Fish stocks around the world are being depleted at an alarming rate, and yet growing populations are more dependent on these vital food sources than ever. The Water Brothers venture to the East Coast of the US and Canada to witness first-hand how overfishing has changed the local marine ecosystem and join fishermen who choose to catch their fish in a sustainable way. Alex and Tyler also visit an innovative seaweed and shellfish farmer who is trying to revolutionize the way we grow, buy and eat seafood. We find out how each of us can make a positive difference by making simple changes and asking questions about the seafood we consume.

S3.E6 ∙ Acid Ocean

Mon, May 11, 2015

As we burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is seeping into the oceans and creating an alarming, science-fiction scenario. It's called ocean acidification. It could lead to a mass extinction of marine life, yet it is largely unknown to the public. In the Pacific Northwest, the Brothers meet scallop & mussel farmers who are already experiencing the impacts of this recent phenomenon and losing millions of dollars. Diving near a volcano in Italy that causes nearby waters to be naturally higher in acidity, the Brothers see first-hand what the rest of the ocean might look like in the future if the trend continues. Can we stop the problem of ocean acidification before it's too late?

S3.E7 ∙ Water in Space

Mon, May 18, 2015

Disturbing changes are taking place in the ocean. Human CO2 emissions are being absorbed into the ocean, causing a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. If nothing is done to slow down this process, it could cause a mass extinction of marine life. From Canada's west coast to the naturally acidifying seawater around an Italian volcano, the Brothers peer into the uncertain future of our Acid Ocean.
