WCAI Sunday Screenings come to New Bedford: Ocean Frontiers II

Our first annual winter film series, Sunday Screenings, is under way! On Sundays throughout the winter, we are screening films at different venues around the Cape, on the Islands, and on the South Coast. Following the screenings we'll have opportunities for discussion, and just plain socializing. Join us! 

Coming up on Jan 12th from 2:00 - 4:00 PM is Ocean Frontiers II: A New England Story for Sustaining the Sea. 

Off the shores of New England, in a region steeped in old maritime tradition, comes a modern wave of big ships, energy industries, and a changing climate, now testing the limits of an already crowded sea. But in a pioneering trial of far-sighted planning—pushed by blueprints for offshore wind energy—old residents and new are coming together to keep their ocean and livelihoods alive.

WCAI's Dr. Heather Goldstone will moderate a panel discussion after the viewing at the New Bedford National Historic Park.

The event is free but you must reserve your ticket! Click here to save your seat!
