About this Event
Join us for a free film screening of Sequoias of the Sea!
Sequoias of the Sea tells the story of the environmental, cultural and economic destruction impacting a Northern California town that has lost its kelp forest. It's a deep dive into the lives of fishermen, tribes, scientists, and a community working to restore a habitat devastated by a warming climate.
Kelp forests, found along nearly a quarter of global coastlines, are crucial climate change mitigators, but this species is in trouble. Along the Northern California coast we have lost a striking 95% of these underwater forests. Due to a perfect storm of changing ocean conditions, we are witnessing an ecological disaster in real time. What's happening in the ocean is changing lives on land, bringing fishermen, scientists and tribe members together, to restore this critical ecosystem and build a new blue economy.
This event will feature a panel of ocean experts and opportunities to talk to local ocean conservation organizations.
