ABOUT THE FILM:
Heceta Bank: Oregon’s Hidden Wonder
Hidden below the surface – 35 miles offshore from Cape Perpetua – there’s a submerged ecosystem that has a huge impact on Oregon’s coastal habitats and the wildlife that call our ocean home. Heceta Bank: Oregon’s Hidden Wonder outlines the story of one of the least known but most important natural features on the West Coast. This short film created by Oregon State University Productions features Oregon State University scientists and rare underwater footage of this environment. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A with marine researchers, filmmakers, and conservationists. Hosted by Environment Oregon in collaboration with Oregon State University’s Marine and Coastal Opportunities.
