Matt Damon hosts "The State of the Ocean's Animals", from the long-running environmental television series JOURNEY TO PLANET EARTH.

This segment from the program features footage from Hardy Jones, whose underwater photography features the grace and beauty of one of nature's most intelligent animals. While on assignment in Japan, Hardy discovered and documented the ritual slaughter of wild dolphins. Because of the efforts of people like Hardy Jones, media stories about the slaughter have attracted the world's attention, and the hunt has now been limited to a single village.
