#1501 - Mollusks: More than a Shell
Seashells, with their beautiful shapes and colors, have inspired humans since the dawn of time. Equally fascinating are the animals which make them, and their unique place in the web of life. Researchers and citizen scientists continue to make new discoveries, while a cutting-edge digital project makes vast research collections easily accessible online.

#1502 - Sharks in Belize: Jaguars of the Sea
The Belize Barrier Reef is home to a diverse array of top predators like lemon sharks, nurse sharks, tiger sharks, and Caribbean reef sharks. In a unique collaboration, local fishers leverage their generational knowledge to help marine scientists and fisheries managers keep shark populations healthy for all.

#1503 - Bermuda: Life at Ocean's Edge
As the shipwreck capital of the world, Bermuda is known for its treacherous reefs. But these unique corals may also offer clues to heightened resilience in the face of a changing climate. Working at the edge of science – and living at the edge of the ocean – local Bermudians and international scientists race to protect these islands and reefs they call home.

#1504 - Life in the Dark: The Polar Night
At the northernmost year-round research station in the world, scientists brave frigid temperatures and perpetual night to solve an ocean mystery. The team is trying to figure out how some of the tiniest animals survive at a time of year when their main food source is not available.
