The Salish Sea is the focus of a documentary premiering Tuesday at Everett Community College. Collaborators Joe Gaydos, Audrey Benedict and Kevin Campion all have a deep-seated love for the Salish Sea and its ecosystem. Their film, The Unknown Sea, is intended to "portray the many ways that the sea and its watersheds are part of an interconnected web of life."

The three also co-authored The Salish Sea: Jewel of the Pacific Northwest. In The Herald, Sharon Wootton describes the contents of the book as "bizarre and beautiful, alien shapes and streamlined bodies, the invisible and obvious." The free premiere of The Unknown Sea will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Jackson Center Wilderness Auditorium at Everett Community College.
