A world without fish? It seems unthinkable but now appears likely unless worldwide carbon emissions are cut dramatically.
"A Sea Change", the award-winning film which has captivated audiences around the world, will be shown starting at 7 pm in the fellowship hall of Coupeville United Methodist Church, 608 N. Main Street. On hand to introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards will be Dr. Richard Feely of the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration and University of Washington. The event is sponsored by Island County Marine Resources Committee. Admission is free.
The film documents the personal journey of Sven Huesby, a retired Norwegian school teacher and descendant of commercial fishermen, in his quest to understand what is happening to the world’s oceans. He discovers that excess carbon dioxide is dissolving in the world’s oceans, changing seawater chemistry and in ways that threaten the entire marine food chain.
