What is the purpose of this show?
- The mission of SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest is to introduce people
in the Pacific
Northwest to their underwater neighbors. There is a lot of
talk about, and some
action to, preserve our oceans and waterways. But when it
comes
to getting public support for these efforts, there's a big obstacle --
most people have no idea what the marine ecosystems are like, much less
how important or how stressed they are -- even the ones nearest to
them. This half-hour TV series addresses that problem by
bringing
into people's living rooms seldom seen underwater creatures and the
intricate relationships between them. SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest blends video, art, literature, science,
and photography to provide a multi-facted look at the world beneath the
water's surface.
About
the TV Series
- In video-magazine format, each episode
of SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest features several underwater-themed
videos by a variety of producers.
- Now
in its fourth year airing on community stations around Puget Sound and
around the country, SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest
is a half-hour TV series produced by Suquamish, Washington resident and
underwater videographer John F. Williams. "The point of this
TV series is to introduce people in the Pacific Northwest to their
underwater neighbors," said Williams, "it's the only thing like it in
the region. The focus is on the Pacific Northwest,
but a few videos from all over the globe are included, since similar
issues are present in every ocean."
- "We
are altering our environment on such a huge scale that the oceans can
no longer buffer us against our own mistakes," Williams continues, "so
awareness of what's going on in our waters is especially important now
-- we need voters who are informed about this invisible environment."
- SEA-Inside:
Pacific Northwest
is a non-profit project that provides a new half-hour TV show about the
underwater world every other month.
