Synopsis

Documentary about the teeming life along 120,000 miles of Asia's shoreline. In India, land becomes sea and sea reverts to land in a cycle of seasonal rains that nourish vast mangrove forests. In Indonesia, mangroves teem with life, and the rocky volcanic coast provides a home for a spectacular coral reef ecosystem. As the cold waters of northern Asia thaw in summer, they invite millions of salmon to swim upstream, spawn and die.
