If you could venture deep into the waters of the Bay Area coast, you'd find a hidden world of magnificent sea creatures and more. It's a protected gem that's also a critical marine habitat.
"I would say 99.9999% of people will never see this beautiful place. Yet, it's so valuable for the incredible amount of biodiversity that it has. The invertebrate and crusted rock of the bank itself, and also all the fish that come there to use that habitat," says Jennifer Stock, who is an educator with NOAA and the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine sanctuaries.
"Yeah, so the camera that we used is called a boxfish camera. And it actually has three cameras that can take video footage around all around," Stock explains. "And so what you have to do is bring a lot of light with you. You've got to go and coordinate -- how you're lighting the scene, how far away from the subjects you're trying to film. And, you know, in terms of where you place the camera, the angles, and so there's a lot of dynamics that go into it," says Rob Lee with the nonprofit Bay Area Underwater Explorers.
