From Watersheds To Whitecaps

“From Watersheds To Whitecaps: Myriad Lives Intertwingled”
Presented by John Williams

The Whale Museum is pleased to welcome John Williams as part of the 2015 Summer Lecture Series on Thursday, August 27th at 6:30 p.m. John will discuss how creatures in the Salish Sea are inexorably linked to each other, linked to those in our uplands, and of course, linked to us. Excerpts from John’s collection of films will highlight some of our amazing local creatures, and the equally amazing scope of their relationships.

John produces educational videos about the underwater environment. As founder and president of Still Hope Productions, Inc., he creates videos that portray the marine environment as a very relevant part of our regional, and global, backyard.

John’s videos have won awards and been shown at film festivals around the U.S. During eighteen years as a sea-going scientific technician and as many years SCUBA diving, John developed a deep concern for the way momentous decisions were being made about our marine resources.

Since the focus of media and education is overwhelmingly on terrestrial issues, the majority of people don’t have the information or interest necessary to contribute significantly to ocean related decision-making. John decided that this decision-making process could be vastly improved by promoting marine education via his underwater videos.

The August 27th lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, call (360) 378-4710 ext. 30.  The Whale Museum is located in Friday Harbor at 62 First St. N. and can be found online at www.whalemuseum.org.
