Suitable for: Kindergarten to Grade 6

One day, out of nowhere, an enormous trawler devastates the bustling and colorful coral reef where the lively perciform, Shorty, his smart sister, Indigo, and Jake, a daring sawfish, live. Our three heroes survive this only with a great deal of luck and they are forced to leave their destroyed habitat. Follow Shorty, Indigo, and Jake on their quest across the vastly polluted ocean to find a new home. Will they find a safe place to live in again? 

The Enchanted Reef is an exciting, humorous, and touching animated show designed to teach students from kindergarten to Grade 6 about the moving beauty of the seas and the endangerment of its species because of massive human impact. The story combines entertaining and educative elements into a sustainable message about the great importance of our oceans.
