I just published a new video on Wetlands! It’s the first in a series called Ground Work, which is about how each biome contributes in its own way to the stability, biodiversity, and beauty of the planet.
This is somewhere between a surface-level look and a deep dive on the differences between different wetlands and why wetlands as a whole are so important to us humans. From providing food, to filtering water, to buffering storm surge, to sequestering and storing carbon, these things are amazing!
I’ve really grown to love the wetlands of Florida as I’ve learned more about them. They really are beautiful. The wildlife, the calm waters, the shade from the mangroves. It’s just so nice to be on the water out there, and I hope this video can share my passion for these ecosystems while also sharing some awesome facts!
This was my first real project aside from the shorts, and it was really ambitious, I don’t think I realized how much it would be to make a 25-minute video with multiple locations. But with a ton of help from my amazing friends, many many hours of research, writing, shooting, and editing, and a last-minute push to just get it done, it’s finally out!
