Ocean Oasis, Two Worlds, One Paradise, Baja California

CEC South Coast Watershed Resource Center
Arroyo Burro County Beach Park

Ocean Oasis is a fascinating journey into the bountiful seas and pristine deserts of two remarkably different, but inextricably linked worlds Mexico's Sea of Cortés and the Baja California desert.

A few very special places in the world are havens for life. Resources and shelter draw living creatures from far and near. These places are rare. We call them oases.

Originally a big-screen film created for IMAX theaters, Ocean Oasis (www.oceanoasis.org) premiered in 2000 to support conservation, education, and research in Baja California.

Glide side-by-side with a graceful giant manta ray as it arches and swoops through water sparkling under the hot Baja California sun. Witness the pageant of migrating whales, the elaborate tango of courting terns, the battles of lumbering elephant seals. Fly over sweeping vistas of snow-capped mountains, vast deserts, palm oases, and mangrove swamps then plunge into astonishing underwater sequences of rarely seen marine life. In the making of this extraordinary film, a team of gifted and dedicated scientists explored unknown territories. They trekked, flew, and dove to unveil intriguing secrets of isolated areas on land, air, and beneath the sea, allowing audiences to see remote wildernesses and experience captivating beauty and elusive wildlife.
