In the concluding installment of our two-part season finale of
Naked Oceans, we get a bit thoughtful and contemplate what might
lie in store for the future of the oceans. Helen catches up with
some of the marine experts we've heard from throughout the last two
series and asks them about what they think the future might hold.
Are they ocean optimists or pessimists? What solutions will be
needed to protect the oceans of the future? And on a more positive
note, we ponder what great ocean discoveries might lie ahead. For

Why is it sometimes such a big deal when species end up in the
wrong places? On Naked Oceans this month we explore marine
invasions and find out how people shift species around the oceans,
what problems this causes, and what can be done to stop them. We
visit the Caribbean to get the lowdown on a notorious ocean alien,
the lionfish, and find out how the best policy could be Eat 'em to
beat 'em. Janet Voight tells us about her recent report that warns
deepsea explorers to be very careful not to pick up any unwanted
hitchhikers. And in Critter of the Month we ask Miriam Goldstein to
tell us if she were a marine species, which would she be and why.

Is ambergris whale vomit or whale poo? We find out in Naked Oceans
this month as we dive into ocean treasures, old and new. Last month
we explored some of the ways we pollute the oceans by using them as
a dumping ground for too much rubbish. And in this episode we look
at the variety of things we've taken out of the ocean, from prized
perfumes to inspiration for new medicines. Christopher Kemp tells
us all about the mysterious stuff, ambergris - the subject of his
new book. And at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, we call in on
some researchers who are putting glowing critters to good use. And
in Critter of the Month, Emmett Duffy tell us, if he was a marine
creature, which one he'd be and why. For information regarding your
