Natural Code

The film will take viewers on an adventure of beautiful visual patterns and the ecology of whale sharks. We will visit the work of mathematician Alan Turing (recent winner of BBC2 Icons of the 20th century) on patterns in nature and show examples of the huge range of examples from leopard’s spots to the formation of coral reefs. My main example will be the beautiful patterns of a whale shark. Each shark can be identified by their individual pattern which can be used in their protection and conservation.
