Film Screening with the International Ocean Film Festival - 'Souls of the Vermilion Sea'

Souls of the Vermilion Sea is a documentary film and media outreach project focused on the struggle to save the world’s most endangered marine mammal, the vaquita. Over the past 3 years the filmmakers have been working to spread awareness of this issue through a variety of media platforms. They are now in the process of developing this project as a feature length film with a variety of partners.

Vaquita were discovered in the late 1950’s and it was presumed that their populations were already in decline. Since then, their numbers have rapidly decreased. The core cause for the decline is due to the use of gill-nets, which drown Vaquita.
