[SEMCO] [Mass Audubon] Jan. 20/ Sea Level Rise Film Screening & Panel Discussion

[Amy Fleischer]

Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
announces a new collaboration with the Wellfeet Harbor Actors Theater

Sea Change: An Ocean Conservation Film Series
begins Sunday, January 20 with
The Island President

Jon Shenk's The Island President is the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced--the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable.

Andrew Ashton, Associate Scientist, Geology & Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
