Part of Ottawa Riverkeeper's Current Conversations speaker series, Beneath the Surface dives under the Ottawa River to explore underwater photography. Three local photographers share images and stories that reveal the hidden beauty of freshwater ecosystems and the wildlife living in them, and make the case for why these waterways are worth protecting.
The evening is presented in both languages as Sous la surface : Plonger dans la photographie aquatique, and doubles as a fundraiser supporting Ottawa Riverkeeper's work in the watershed.
Speakers
- Dr. Sean Landsman — Associate Professor at Carleton University, freshwater ecologist and conservation photographer
- David Finlayson — retired environmental engineer and underwater photographer
- Mark Bernards — Ottawa Riverkeeper's Communications & Outreach Coordinator and wildlife photographer
