Beneath the Surface at Otter Rock
Black Rockfish swim by as cryptic sea urchins and sea stars cling to rocks. This video was taken with ODFW’s video lander during scientific monitoring surveys at the Otter Rock Marine Reserve. Our long-term marine reserves monitoring is helping us track and understand nearshore ocean changes both inside and outside of the reserves over time.
Swim Along with a School of Fish
Spot a China Rockfish, see urchins, and swim along with a school of rockfish in a sea of coralline pink rocks. This video is from a rocky reef located off of Humbug Mountain, which is monitored alongside the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve for comparison. This video was shot during one of our SCUBA surveys.
School of Rockfish
A clear blue day underwater amidst a school of fish. This video clip was taken at a rocky reef located off of Cape Foulweather, which is monitored alongside the Otter Rock Marine Reserve for comparison. This monitoring is helping us track and understand ocean changes occurring both inside and outside of the reserve over time.
