Page "East Australian Current" Paragraph 2

In the 2003 animated Disney / Pixar film Finding Nemo, the EAC is portrayed as a superhighway that fish and sea turtles use to travel down the east coast of Australia.

The characters Marlin and Dory join a group of sea turtles, including Crush and his son Squirt in using the EAC to help them travel to Sydney Harbour so they can rescue Marlin's son, Nemo.

The basic premise of this storyline is correct.

Every summer, thousands of fish are swept from the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney Harbor and further south.
