Imagine a world without fish. A powerful new film on climate change and the oceans proposes just that. A Sea Change is the first documentary about ocean acidification, the underbelly of climate change, a little–known but potentially devastating threat to ocean life. A Sea Change has played to sell–out crowds at major film festivals in Washington, DC, San Francisco and Seattle in 2009.
Dr. Jennifer Hoffman, Senior Scientist with EcoAdapt, will provide closing remarks and answer questions following the screening.
