National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Special Cinematic Event, August 13

The National Marine Sanctuary e-News connects people to their national marine sanctuaries.

THIS THURSDAY, August 13th, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation will take you on a voyage to our Pacific marine national monuments and marine sanctuaries.

As a way to raise awareness of the threats facing these vibrant seascapes and ecosystems, the Foundation is hosting a virtual screening of the forthcoming film Hidden Pacific from filmmaker Ian Shive. Mr. Shive will join Kris Sarri, president and CEO of the Foundation, to answer your questions about the experience of documenting these wonders in a Facebook Live event.

This event is part of the Foundation’s Blue Beacon Series, which aims to bring to light the ocean and Great Lakes’ biggest challenges through panels, lectures, and film screenings in order to build communities of support for marine protected areas.

Hidden Pacific displays the beauty and biodiversity of Pacific marine sanctuaries and monuments in gorgeous, large-format 4K imagery. Because Hidden Pacific will be released in theaters in 2021, we may only allow one-time screening access for this film on August 13th. Then, join the live Q&A event at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT/1:30 pm HT.
