A special report on the plight of sea birds; the Wondering Albatross, presented by David Jagger. This report documents the use of satellites to track flight movement and determine habitats of the sea birds, as well as the assessment of the impact of Japanese long-line fishing fleets. A number of interviews from individuals carrying out work related to the conservation of the sea birds; Dr. Andre Bowmanskier (National Centre for Scientific Research), and David Agnew (Data Manager for the International Community for Conservation of Marine Resources), as well as ecologist David Nichols and physician Dr. Eric Butcher of La Trobe University, explaining the technology.

Faunal and floral material from seven excavated sites on Uahuka and Nuku hiva Islands was quantitatively analysed in order to provide an outline of adaptations in the Marquesan economic system from CA 300 to 1800 AD. A primary shift occurred during the Developmental Period from marine-oriented hunting and gathering techniques to terrestrially-oriented agricultural and animal husbandry practices. This shift may have been caused by a combination of demographic factors and by the over-exploitation of marine resources. A number of rapid and drastic changes in the Marquesan ecology as a result of human activity are also indicated.
