Synopsis
Today, a busy port servicing heavy industry continues to develop in Dampier, Western Australia. It provides museum scientists with the unique opportunity to observe and document the effects of industry on the surrounding natural habitats and marine wildlife - from sharks to shrimps and worms to whales. The scientists reveal it may be possible for people and marine life to coexist. But one accident and much of the marine life could be destroyed. The Dampier Archipelago is truly a place where life exists on the edge.
