'Ocean Frontiers' Bay Area Premier

Ocean Frontierstakes us on an inspiring voyage to seaports and watersheds across the country-from the busy shipping lanes of Boston Harbor to a small fishing community in the Pacific Northwest; from America's coral reefs in the Florida Keys to the nation's premier seafood nursery in the Mississippi Delta. Here we meet an intermingling of unlikely allies, of industrial shippers and whale biologists, pig farmers and wetland ecologists, sport and commercial fishermen, reef snorkelers and many more, all of them embarking on a new course of cooperation, to sustain the sea and our ocean economies.

Screening will be preceded by "Ocean Blueprint", a short film featuring ocean explorer Philippe Cousteau, explaining the need for responsible ocean mapping to protect marine resources.

Following the film will be a panel discussion featuring the following four panelists and moderator:
Karen Anspacher-Meyer, Filmmaker, Green Fire Productions Leesa Cobb, Director, Port Orford Ocean Resource Team Leila Monroe, Oceans Program, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) John Hansen, West Coast Ecosystem-Based Management Network Maria Brown, Superintendent, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Moderator: Jerry Kay, Earth News Journal, Broadcaster and host of "Thank- you Ocean.
