The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Ocean Conservationist and Author
Liz Cunningham


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History is proud to present ocean conservationist 
and author Liz Cunningham Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 7pm.

Liz grew up outside of New York City and received 
a B.A. in Human Ecology from College of the 
Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. Drawn by the 
openness of the vast Pacific landscape and 
California’s innovative spirit, she moved west 
and learned to scuba dive and raced sailboats. 
She loved what the ocean seemed to demand of us: 
elemental truths such as camaraderie and grace in overwhelming situations.

Her sense of connection with the oceans has led 
her on a journey to write about ocean 
conservation and the traits we need to be 
effective stewards of our seas and life on this 
planet among others, courage, an engaged, active 
hope, and the ability to work together to find 
solutions. In her latest book, Ocean Country, she 
crisscrosses the globe in an effort to understand 
the threats to our dazzling but endangered 
oceans. This intimate account charts her 
thrilling journey through unexpected encounters 
with conservationists, fishermen, sea nomads, and 
scientists in the Mediterranean, Sulawesi, the 
Turks and Caicos Islands, and Papua, New Guinea.

Join Liz for a stunning slide show and discussion 
of her amazing adventure story, a call to action, 
and a poetic meditation on the state of the seas. 
Most importantly it is the story of finding true 
hope in the midst of one of the greatest crises 
to face humankind, the rapidly degrading state of our environment.

Members Free / Non-Members $5
