Coming Soon to Theaters Near You: A Sea Change

OCTOBER 14 & 27
EDC will present two showings of the film A Sea Change which explores an urgent but little-known global crisis known as “the other carbon dioxide problem” –acidification of the world’s oceans, and its implications for marine life, and ourselves.

EDC is leading a national effort to garner more attention to the threat of rising ocean acidification. Acidification is caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, that result in higher levels of pH in the world’s oceans and impair the ability of several marine organisms (including urchins, abalone, lobster) to grow shells and skeletons. To learn more about ocean acidifaction read EDC's report.

This new feature film follows retired educator and concerned grandfather Sven Huseby around the world on his mission to learn more about the effect of excess carbon dioxide on the ocean, wrestling with the possibility that his grandson will inherit an ocean without fish. We look forward to seeing you at a showing!
