The coast -
between land and sea
This is the most dynamic
of all the ocean habitats
The challenge here is
to survive change
Extreme change
Douglas, on the most
of the islands,
totally from the massive
of the Pacific Ocean
and one of the roughest
in the world
The of the
are the world's only sea-going
is all they eat,
but doing so is a dangerous business
The local have
become specially ,
the effect
of the pounding waves
And the have huge
to grip the rocks
This really is fast food
There are only a few seconds
in which to grab a few
before the next
comes pounding in
Female feed
only on the exposed rocks,
but the males which are larger swim and
beneath the surface to reach the weed
They go as deep as ten metres,
for there beyond the reach
of the waves, they find the best
Being cold-blooded they
have to return to land
after about ten minutes or
so to warm up again in the sun
Finding food is not the only
challenge for coastal residents
These shores are hardly
a safe place to lay their eggs
and each year the
have to journey
to find a more suitable one
The females lay their eggs in
and leave them there ,
and to do that they
need nice soft sand
Down at the water edge, it was easy
to escape danger in ,
but up here the females
are exposed
A
The don't give up
without a struggle
These stay on the coast all year
But they are exceptional
The majority of the birds
that frequent this frontier
spend most of their time elsewhere
- in or above the open ocean
However all have to come
to land in order to lay their eggs
And after spending many lonely
months searching the ocean for food,
they have to re-establish
their social relationships
display and
exchange nesting material
