[Amy Fleischer]

Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
in collaboration with the Wellfeet Harbor Actors Theater

Sea Change: An Ocean Conservation Film Series
continues Sunday, February 17 with
Noon: Requiem
The family-friendly Requiem from Living Ocean Productions documents the true nature and purpose of one of the most misunderstood predators on our planet - the shark. Follow the discovery of an underwater photographer from Hawaii as she becomes familiar with the extraordinary beauty, power and skills of one of the most infamous classification of sharks - the Requiem Family. Our educators will introduce the film with fun, interactive shark activities for the audience, and follow-up with an opportunity for families to share their feelings and questions about sharks.

2:30 p.m.: Sushi: The Global Catch
For many, sushi is the most iconic Japanese cultural export. Documentarian Mark Hall explores its important history in interviews with sushi masters, but also wonders, with wild fish stocks coming under increasing commercial pressures, what does the future hold for your favorite sushi bar? Will the worldwide hunger for sushi continue to grow until wild fish vanish, or will new technology like aquaculture keep plates full? Can sustainable restaurants satisfy consumers, or will competition for declining high quality resources drive prices so high that only the elite will be able to afford it? Sushi: The Global Catch is a fascinating investigation into the cultural and economic impacts of this iconic cuisine. Watch the trailer here: http://www.sushitheglobalcatch.com/

7:30 p.m.: The Big Fix
On Earth Day, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig sank creating the worst oil spill in history. According to the global media, the story ended when the well was capped - but that's when the real story began. By exposing the root causes of the oil spill and what really happened after the news cameras left the Gulf states, filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell uncover a vast network of corruption.
