Just eighteen miles from one of Earth’s most populated cities lies a hidden world — a world consisting of five remarkable islands and their ocean environment. Channel Islands National Park — Treasure in the Sea transports you to a California that many thought disappeared long ago.
The isolation of the Channel Islands has fostered the development of unique plants, animals, and archeological resources that exist nowhere else on the planet. This film showcases the wonders of the park and the efforts of the National Park Service to protect and preserve this fragile and diverse world.
Through the use of incredible aerial photography, cutting-edge computer graphics, and footage of remote, scenic natural locations — narrator Kevin Costner takes you on an incomparable journey through one of America’s greatest National Parks in this stunning high-definition film.
That was a nice film. Hiked all over a couple of them, did the non evasive plants and replant thing. So awesome its a National Park. Theres no reason why it shouldnt be on the top of the most important. We gotta protect it. Great film.
Incredible video! Love the aerial shots!
This is a very well done film on this area.
Great work, I can’t wait to visit!
Thanks, I needed a 25 minute vacation!
Grew up in Oxnard. Spent all my childhood at the Channel Islands surfing and Scuba Diving. My dad 81 still this day dives and spear fish out there.
I was one of the first people in the world to be SCUBA certified (Los Angeles County), a half century ago. I remember Santa Catalina Island as pristine and unspoiled. Coves then were scoured of life. Expensive yachts dumped raw sewage, closing the ocean with high bacteria counts, to children in camps (waterfront closed, no swimming – on an island). What a blessing steps have been taken to restore life and health in nature. Sustainability for the present and future. Thank you.
VERY WELL DONE! I wish ALL national park videos were online and more easily accessible
