Save Our Shores' Events |
The End of the Line Film Screening in Santa CruzWhen: December 16th 6:30pm-10pm
Where: Rio Theater 1205 Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz
Who: Save Our Shores, FishWise, Ocean Conservancy, Greenpeace and Assemblymember Bill Monning
Imagine an ocean without fish. Imagine your meals without seafood. Imagine the global consequences. This is the future if we do not stop, think and act.
The End of the Line is the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans. In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.
It examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish and the profound implications of a future world with no fish that would bring certain mass starvation. Watch the trailer.
Tickets are $3, available at the door.
Before the screening we will hear from our Assemblymember Bill Monning, a leader in sustainable seafood legislation. Then after the screening, we will be joined by a panel of local experts to take your questions and discuss ways to get involved in solutions for the future. Please join us for what is sure to be a great event for friends and family!
