Funk Island is a precious endowment but a delicate and vulnerable environment and for its protection, it has been designated a Newfoundland and Labrador Ecological Seabird Reserve. Unauthorized visits are prohibited. Research scientist, Bill Montevecchi is one of the few people who frequently visits Funk Island. He has been going there for decades to study the birds and their ocean environment, to monitor the health of the colonies and to observe the birds' ongoing challenges for survival in the North Atlantic. In this web series, we visit Funk Island with Bill as our guide and interpreter. He will help us to understand the island's inhabitants in the context of the larger marine environment, of which they (and we) are integral participants. The website consists of a series of 9 videos each exploring different aspects of life on the island and of Bill's scientific research. It is further supplemented with short essays on the history of the human exploitation and scientific inquiry on this remote, mysterious rock. The Ecological Reserve status of Funk Island and fact sheets about the seabirds are also detailed. The website is meant to inform, educate and entertain and to bring to the viewer a greater appreciation of the uniqueness of this global seabird capital. We highlight the resiliency and the vulnerability of the seabirds, address the extinction of the Great Auk, evaluate the information that seabirds provide, and highlight the importance that Seabird Ecological Reserves have for the protection of natural treasures off our coast. Bill's thoughts and experience give us insights into the wonders that we witness and in the role of science in understanding this "marvelous, terrible place".

- A remote Newfoundland outport faces extinction. Once a vibrant community of independent fishermen, Bay de Verde was helpless in the face of international fishing trawlers and government fisheries mismanagement. The cod fishery collapsed in 1992 leading to the largest industrial layoff in Canadian history. A tide of outmigration followed, later slowed by a boom in mobile work as Newfoundlanders travelled back and forth to offshore oil rigs and further afield to Alberta's oil sands, and elsewhere. Still, most of Bay de Verde's young people are now gone. Its population has declined by half. How are those who remain at home coping? What future do they hope for? Will new developments, such as a different fishery (shellfish), tourism, and long-distance commuting be enough to save Bay de Verde? While our film focuses on one Newfoundland community, it serves as a wider comment on what is being lost in many rural places across the planet.

- Healthcare in rural Newfoundland and Labrador relies on a resilient group of physicians who live and work in these rural communities. This documentary sheds light on the struggles and successes, the charms and challenges of life as a rural doctor. The film features in-person, on-camera interviews with doctors from across Newfoundland and Labrador. The physicians interviewed range in age, speciality, gender, and background to provide a diverse - yet surprisingly harmonious - description of their life and practice. Our documentary hopes to create awareness about the struggles of these rural physicians, while also celebrating their resiliency and commitment to their communities. We hope to stimulate conversation about how we can recruit and retain doctors to these areas, while also improving patient care for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
