May 31, 2009 Census of Marine Life

How many fish are in the sea? That's the goal of the Census of Marine Life.
Now in its eighth year, the Census, is discovering 1400 new species of
animal and plant life each year.

Ron O'Dor of Dalhousie University has convinced more than 2000 scientists
from 80 countries that they should do the counting. Some of
those scientists are doing their work in the Bay of Fundy.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
