THE UNKNOWN SEA

 

Hidden amongst the evergreens and Madronas, the timber towns turned tech-centers that make up the northwest coast, there is an inland sea that escaped the eye of all who saw it until very recent times.

 

Set sail with the crew of Orion as they voyage to the heart of the Pacific Northwest’s newly named inland waterway.  Glide over and dive under this vibrant ecosystem on a month-long journey on the Salish Sea.

 

This expedition investigates the historical, political and ecological factors that went into the recognition of our newest inland sea. The film creates a sense of place highlighting some of the most iconic species and seascapes of the Salish Sea ecosystem.

 

The Unknown Sea A Voyage on the Salish explores the natural and cultural history of the area through interviews of people deeply connected with the Salish Sea.
