Countryfile: Hamza's Highlands - Flapper Skate

Hamza Yassin is on the west coast of Scotland, where hidden beneath the waves lives one of our rarest marine giants – the flapper skate. This ancient species has been gliding through our waters for millions of years, but today it teeters on the edge of extinction.

Hamza joins the team using cutting-edge science and a network of sea anglers to help bring the flapper skate back from the brink.

There’s also a look back through the Countryfile archives to celebrate more marine marvels from around the UK.
