CULTURE: Sama Bajau: Asia's Sea Nomads
For humans, can the sea be treated as a territory of its own?
They are known as the Sama Bajau, the Orang Laut, and the Moken. Three groups of around a million people across Asia regarded as the "sea nomads".
Along the coasts and off the islands of South East Asia there are populations who have lived a marine nomadic lifestyle for thousands of years.
Choosing to inhabit such a volatile environment, their very survival has depended on their ability to adapt.
