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.
