A cheart cho sònraichte ’s a tha cuantan mòra an t-saoghail, tha sgeulachdan iongantach fhathast rin innse ann an Cuan a Tuath agus Muir Baltach na Roinn Eòrpa. Bho fìordan Nirribhidh chun Mhuir Wadden, bhon Kattegat chun an eilein as motha san t-Suain, tha na h-uisgeachan nan àrd-ùrlar airson dràmathan an dà chuid mòr agus beag.

Chì sinn madaidhean cuain a’ sealg ròin-ghlas, dallag-gharbh air ùr-bhreith a’ tighinn a dh’ ionnsaigh an cunnart as motha dhi: am meirsgiorra. An dùil am faigh i air beul am meirsgiorra a sheachnadh? Tha sinn a’ leantainn nathair feòir Gotland is e dol dhan mhuir a shealg – a’ chiad turas aice air camara. Tha sinn a’ faicinn a’ chiad dhà no thrì sheachdainean ann am beatha cuilean-ròin, a’ tighinn a dh’ ionnsaigh saoghal làn chunnart.

Nas fhaide tuath, tha sinn a’ dol a mheasg blàr, brùideil, fuilteach le ròin-fhireann mòra a’ sabaid airson cumhachd agus gus dreuchd fear riaghlaidh na tràghad a ghabhail os làimhe. Ach tha an sreath seo a’ foillseachadh barrachd na an cumhachd bunaiteach agus bòidhchead nan cuantan. Tha e cuideachd a’ foillseachadh cho fosgailte ’s a tha iad, agus a’ sealltainn na cuideaman a’ tha a’ cur an saoghal mara iongantach seo fo chunnart.

No less spectacular than the world’s great oceans, Europe’s North and Baltic Seas hold extraordinary stories still waiting to be told. From the fjords of Norway to the Wadden Sea, and from the Kattegat to Sweden’s largest island, these waters are the stage for dramas both great and small.

Witness orcas hunting grey seals and a newborn catshark confronting its greatest threat: an anglerfish. Can it escape the angler’s gaping jaws? Follow a Gotland grass snake as it ventures into the sea to hunt something caught on camera for the very first time. And a seal pup faces a world full of danger during the fragile first weeks of its life.

Further north, there is a brutal, bloody battle as giant bull seals fight for dominance and the coveted role of beach master. But this series reveals more than the raw power and beauty of these seas; it also exposes their vulnerability and the pressures threatening this remarkable marine world.
