OUR INVISIBLE SHORELINE: A VIDEO TOUR
As we walk along the shoreline, we are surrounded by things we can't
see. Creatures that are hidden below the surface of the water,
beneath rocks, or are too small to see; processes too slow for us to
see, or just plain invisible! But each is a key part of our
nearshore environment.
Join filmmaker John F. Williams for a video tour of the secret watery
world lapping, crashing, and swirling on our local beaches. See unusual
underwater video clips, provocative photographs, and engage in
conversation about some of the key marine shoreline processes that are
not a part of our daily experience.
Whether you live down on the beach or up in the watershed, you are a
stakeholder in the health and beauty of our marine ecosystem, and you
are a player in it’s future.
<DETAILS FOR SPECIFIC EVENT TBD>

BIO
John
Williams spent almost 20 years helping to map the ocean floor all over
the world, from the deepest of the deep, the Mariana Trench, to the
flanks of Surtsey, Iceland, some of the newest real-estate on the
planet. At the beginning of this century, he embarked on a
new
adventure: turning his love for SCUBA diving into a new career making
educational underwater movies. Recognizing some of
the
serious issues facing our oceans, yet basically optimistic that they
can be addressed through public awareness and involvement, John founded
a media production company called Still Hope Productions, Inc.
His
video has been seen on broadcast, satellite, and cable TV, and at
science conferences. John's movie about the four seasons
underwater in Puget Sound, "Return of the Plankton," is in many schools
and libraries around the U.S., and it toured the country with the Kids
First! film festival in 2007. For the last three years, John
has
been producing the Pacific Northwest's only underwater TV
series, SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest. It is a non-profit project
that
airs on more than 50 community TV stations, reaching over 4 million
homes.
John
is a member of the 911 Media Arts Center, Bainbridge Island
Broadcasting, Northwest Film Forum, the Alliance for Community Media,
and he served on the steering committee for the Puget Sound
Partnership's ECO Network.
Our Invisible Shoreline is made possible by a grant from Washington Sea Grant and by media contributions from Still Hope Productions.
