Film: Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine In-Person

The Gulf of Maine is warming 97% faster than the global ocean, and what happens here is likely to happen worldwide. We are at a crossroads for the future of the Gulf. Does it retain enough of its biodiversity and regenerative strength to weather the human-induced storm? Is the sheer beauty of this place and spectacular range of its creatures enough to wake us to what is at stake?
