Kelp and Critters
The DVD “Kelp and Critters” tells a story of 4 seasons of marine life in the Pacific Northwest. It took over 3 years go get all the footage for this compelling story about the life of the animals that live in or are connected with the Pacific Ocean.
The DVD Kelp and Critters takes you on a tour through the seasons starting in winter and shows the animals’ struggle for survival, their hunting and evasion of predators, their diversity and their search for a partner. Although many animals live in the ocean, the story also shows the land animals, such a bears and birds who are dependent on the ocean.
Kelp, marine mammals, fish, colorful invertebrates and many many more “actors” are the main cast for this DVD
