violence

We see sea creatures, such as sharks, swallowing smaller animals during hunts; there is no focus on injury detail.

threat and horror

There are scenes of sea creatures hunting, including orca herding and chasing a shoal of rays and camouflaged marine animals waiting to strike at others. We see turtles and sea lions trapped in fishing nets, sometimes in states of distress; the animals featured here survive these incidents but the programme tells us many others do not. There are references to the negative, often fatal, impact discarded plastics have on marine life.

sex

A sequence shows two crabs beginning to mate.

additional issues: There are references to the death of an octopus, exhausted and starving after rearing her young. Scratches are briefly visible on a ray's body.
