Beneath the Waves Film Festival: Spectacular When Spotted

This year’s Beneath the Waves Film Festival was a huge success, and we’ve already started planning for next year. In the meantime, I’ll post some of the 2011 entries.

“Spectacular when spotted” follows a spotted eagle ray research project in Bermuda. It has some great footage of these amazing animals, and shows some field scientists at work. I hope you enjoy it! If you have any questions about the research or the film, post them as a comment and I’ll make sure that they get passed along to the filmmakers.
