Episode synopsis
Fluctuation between fresh and salt-water, alternating immersion and exposure, temperature extremes, and powerful currents make for extremely demanding conditions in southern Africa's coastal estuaries. Nonetheless, fish, birds, and reptiles thrive here and each year female loggerhead and leatherback turtles travel hundreds of miles to return to their traditional nesting sites.
