There's gotta be a way to save the kelp forest in Tasmania!

Beautiful film

But why are they disappearing cant they do anything about it?

So how do you know it’s not just the overfishing sea urchin predators and not climate change?

find a cuttlefish and go to it and let go of the camera

Great dive site. I used to do this a shore dive in the 90s and early 2000s.

wouldn't that just mean the kelp habitat is moving more south as it warms instead of disappearing ?

Cool

I’m a kid but looks awesome

What?

wow!!! this piece is....just...wow

I just wish more people would watch it

For FUCKING 6 MOHTHS in Romania noone talked about the pollution, now there are in Bucharest, instead of winter and -2°C there are 14 degrees Celsius, and ALSO this island dissappeared, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, STOP THE FUCKING DAMN POLLUTION YOU FUCKING IDIOTS Edit: This makes me cry .....These bad things that are the most important ones and noone giving a fuck

who is responsible for this loss

What a great video. Looks like so much fun!

My class watched this for this book called the hidden forest that we are reading...

This is a beautiful film. As a diver, I was thrilled to discover today that Tasmania has giant kelp forests. Thrilled for about 5 minutes. I then found out that the latest news is that these forests have all but disappeared. This is sad news indeed, and likely just the beginning of the devastation climate change will cause to ecosystems around the world.

Fantastic Video and Awareness . Well Done .

Hi，can i use this video free？

people get full of pride about advances in science, but no one speaks of how the world is being destroyed by those very same advances. They speak of co2 emissions and green house gases, but its not car pollution rather livestock that produce the most co2 methane emissions. (found that one hard to believe but its true) The upper layers of our atmosphere is not affected by neither cars nor cows rather the tens of thousands of planes that fly every day world wide, something analyst tend not to mention. People have high hopes of venturing into the stars and colonizing Mars. But what good is settling on another planet when you cant even get it right on earth. Its well known that the earth would flourish without man. So why cant man live in harmony with the earth? Man calls himself intelligent over all living creatures on the earth, but those creatures live and flourish without man and without any of mans technologies. Man seeks shelter from the harshest weather, but never once considers that the animals endure it all every season. and still theirs so many people that are so caught up in selfishness and greed, that they will readily see the world burn before hindering their means of financial growth and power.

Swim-throughs anywhere are totally overrated. Big deal.

So truly beautiful and such a tragic loss. well done to you. What happened to the sea creatures who lived here?

It is also disappearing in California. The Seadragons here in Tasmania are disappearing too. - Water temperature on Bruny Island is not warmer, but near the shore the Macrocystis is growing where the water temp. is warmer?

Hi Rebecca this footage is absolutely stunning. We were just down in Tassie trying to film the Giant Kelp Forests and couldn't find any around Eaglehawk which was really disappointing. I'd love to chat to you about using some of your footage in a new project that we are working on.

if, and only if this is a cyclical climate event, the kelp will re-emerge in cooler water as will most of the life that accompanies these forests. If this climate event shift is pollution and man-driven, a re-emergence may be far off. There are many ancient reefs that are no longer. Remnants of past climate cycles give proof that earth does recover and restore over the aeons.

I know this.its because the sea otter.my teacher told the class and I looked for a video of it.

Love the turtle shot at 35 second mark, just awesome

Great video. What track is this ? Trying to find this tune.

Great editing, especially liked the surprise @ 3:40. Very fitting soundtrack

wow bec fantastic

the poor kelp, fish & other sea creatures :(

one of my favourite sydney dives!....wish i had my red filter then!

What a fantastic video!

Sorry but I am not using a Go Pro. I am using a Sony HDR 550 in a Light and Motion Housing.

Great video, do you use a lense filter on the GoPro? and what is it mounted to? I have a hand held mount but on the look out for a two handed mount with light.

Hi Rebecca, the oceanplanet tasmania team is putting on a film night at the state cinema and would like to include one of your films on the kelp forest. We can not find an email address for you and have been trying to contact you. Could you please email me erika.avellaneda@gmail.com

Where the caves are, its about 15-17 metres. You find the weedy seadragons a bit further down at 22 metres...

How much water are you in on the bottom there?

It was a 3 day, 4 night trip though so there was a whole lot of diving, the main day we did 2 bottom dives and I was in the surface cage the rest of the time (except to eat and to charge camera batteries.) It was cold (13 degrees celsius at that time of year) but I was relatively toasty in my drysuit.. :)

Very nice video! How many dives did you have that day? 3?

Good video. Sometimes the video is a bit too red. Do you use light with a red filter ?

Really amazing! Thank you for sharing!

No where is safe. It is very sad.

I used a Sony HDR-XR550 in a Light and Motion Bluefin Pro housing. It was my first trip using this set up so it took a while to get used to the controls - white balancing was a challenge, particularly below 60ft/ 20 metres..

Great video. Well done. What housing and camcorder did you use?

Well done. Documenting ongoing/long term environmental change underwater is what Project Baseline is all about, too.

i remember the storm i was at the bay like a week after it happened and there was kelp all over the beach, i really wanted to be able to see that kelp forest too :(

Amazing footage - we have shared on our facebook page to help build awareness.

that is a great video - perfect day, such a wealth of sea life for a single dive ;-)

sudans on my wish list
