Documentary synopsis:

Seals and Sea Lions are "Sentinels of the Sea" tm.  They are "pinnipeds", marine mammals with fur that must haul out onto land on a regular basis.  They live in two worlds, underwater and on land. They have many fascinating behaviors, are highly intelligent, and have special adaptations that allow them to remain underwater for extended periods of time even though they are air breathing animals.  They are "indicator" species that provide a reflection or barometer of many ocean and coastal conditions, and of factors affecting the health of these habitats. Many of these factors affect humans as well. Learn more about seals and sea lions as "sentinels" of ocean conditions in this upcoming production "Sentinels of the Sea" that is nearing completion.

Pinniped species from around the world will be featured, along with some whale species, and other ocean creatures, such as  manta rays, whale sharks, orcas, lemon sharks, and more.  Many of these species also reflect the impacts of human activity, some typically live in coastal areas, and all have fascinating life details. 

Expert interviews with pinniped specialists, presentations about ecology and conservation challenges, and more, will be included. The problems of "ghost gear", pollution, plastic marine debris, disturbance and harassment, ocean noise, boat strikes, and entanglement will be covered. Increasingly, the effects of plastic pollution, beached whales being found with stomachs full of trash, and other envirnomental impacts on ocean wildlife and habitats are being noted and brought to public awareness.

This documentary is being produced by an award winning filmmaker.  See film credits on documentary page.  This is a full length feature documentary.

This important documentary will bring together revealing details about these species, the many challenges that they face, and will provide a compelling visual experience and engagement.  Ultimately, their world is our world.

Rare and beautiful footage will be included, including RED ONE footage, and will depict playful seals and sea lions engaged in natural behaviors, mothers and pups on land, and many other species. The amazing rookery site at Casa beach, with world class views of mothers and pups, will be featured. Hawaiian Monk Seals swimming with manta rays, and sharks and orcas in their natural habitat will be presented with expert narration.
