One Ocean, One Climate, One Future World Oceans Day reminds us that we are all connected to the ocean, and to celebrate that connection by recognizing how the ocean generates most of the oxygen we breathe, helps feed us, regulates our climate, cleans the water we drink, offers us many potential medicines and provides limitless inspiration. |
World Ocean Day 2009 — Party with A Sea Change
California, USA (June 8th, 2009)
As an anchor event we invite you to screen A Sea Change. Maybe you'd like to use the opportunity to raise awareness around your own ocean- or climate-change related issue. Or simply screen the film as a stand-alone event. Perhaps you'd like to present a panel discussion afterward, including scientists and other experts from your own region. Other possible events could be a weekend of ocean-related activities for all ages. Or a webcast linking celebrations across the globe. Maybe a flotilla in your local harbor.
Presented by: A Sea Change
