Description:
Join the Coastal Acidification Networks and Representative Chellie Pingree (ME-01) for a screening of the short film Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification!
The International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification (OA Alliance) has partnered with LUMA Storytelling to create a short film, Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification, featuring OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change in North America, Latin America, and the Pacific Island Region. Filmed in Washington State, Colombia, and Fiji, this character-led short film follows real individuals from the government, indigenous communities, the seafood industry, and scientists who are responding to the accelerating impacts of ocean acidification and calling for action. The piece aims to inspire broader awareness of this work and accelerate action at a critical moment for climate policy and financing locally and around the world.
The webinar will start with introductory remarks by Representative Chellie Pingree, representative of Maine and sponsor of the Coastal Communities Ocean Acidification Act. The screening will be followed by a talkback bringing focus to the impacts of coastal acidification in your region. Bring your questions about the film and about how you can connect with your region’s Coastal Acidification Network to take action on coastal acidification.
