“Ocean Frontiers” Showing in Friday Harbor

Wednesday, July 18th, from 6-8 p.m. at Friday Harbor Labs Commons

From the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee

The San Juan Marine Resources Committee and the Friday Harbor Labs invite the public to a showing of “Ocean Frontiers: The Dawn of a New Era in Ocean Stewardship,” on Wednesday, July 18th at 6 p.m. A panel discussion will follow.

“As the blue planet’s burgeoning populace faces an uncertain future, never before have the world’s oceans been called upon to serve so many, while suffering so much. To address this, people around the world have begun using new approaches to ocean management. It is a movement of scientists, businesses, farmers, fishermen, governments and citizens who care for the sea.

Green Fire Productions has traveled the country from coast to coast, capturing stories of these ocean pioneers—people who are embarking on a new course of stewardship, in defense of the seas that sustain them. We can learn many lessons from these ocean pioneers; in a sense, we’re all ocean pioneers, steering uncharted waters in a sea of rapid change.

In “Ocean Frontiers,” you’ll meet the unlikely allies who are guiding us toward a new era of ocean stewardship.”
