Ocean Screenning with David Attenborough

SalmonState is hosting the film screening of Ocean with David Attenborough. After the film screening, join them for an open discussion on trawl bycatch and a chance to win door prizes.

OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean.

The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

SalmonState

SalmonState works to ensure Alaska remains the Salmon State: the home of the largest, healthiest, and most abundant wild salmon runs left on Earth, as well as to the ways of life those wild salmon make possible.

SalmonState is an initiative begun, sustained, and powered by Alaskans. We are housed at the New Venture Fund and collaborate with Alaska nonprofits, Indigenous governments, commercial fishermen, businesses, and others. Each campaign we are a part of is a unique mix of Tribes, grassroots organizations, and stakeholders united to work toward our shared goal of ensuring we all have access to sustainable wild salmon in the future — whether that’s in our nets, in our backyard streams, or on the dinner table.
