Wednesday, June 26, 7 p.m., Sea View Theatre
— from Justin Cox for SeaDoc Society —
On Wednesday, June 26, head out to the Sea View Theatre for an underwater odyssey through the Salish Sea, from the Puget Sound and Hood Canal through the San Juan Islands and beyond.
A fantastic documentary, “Beneath the Salish Sea,” will be shown on the Sea View Theatre screen as part of the island’s Ocean Night series, which is presented by SeaDoc Society and Camp Orkila. The event is free, family friendly, and concessions/bar will be open. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event starts at 7 p.m. sharp.
This is a one-time summer event for the series, which will start up again in October.
The popular documentary was created by dive videographer Florian Graner and is packed with stunning underwater images all shot in high definition. It takes you below the surface and into an underwater ecosystem that is teeming with stunning wildlife.
The film features species like the giant pacific octopus, the six gill shark, and many other species found right here in the San Juan Islands. The documentary includes stories about killer whales, salmon, porpoises and the stormy coast at the entrance to the Salish Sea.
The SeaDoc Society is able to make this a free event thanks to donations from Dean and Audrey Stupke, Jim and Kathy Youngren, Barbara Brown, Barbara Bentley, West Sound Marina, The Averna Family (Deer Harbor Charters), Madrona Bar and Grill, Camp Orkila, and the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.
