North Sea: Nature Untamed
(De Wilde Noordzee)
The North Sea is the busiest shipping route in Europe, an area of intensive fishing, and the scene of a major energy transition. But first and foremost, the North Sea is a huge domain of marine wildlife. North Sea: Nature Untamed reveals a fascinating underwater world that has remained largely unseen.
Filming Grey Seals Mating
I had a minor role in the filming of North Sea: Nature Untamed. I spent some days in the middle of winter filming grey seal mating behavior on a remote island in the North Sea.
