Free screening of Ocean documentary in Nelson Bay

ECONETWORK Port Stephens and the NSW Marine Sanctuary Alliance will host a free screening of the film “Ocean with David Attenborough” at Nelson Bay Cinema on Sunday, 2 November.

After seven decades filming every aspect of the natural world, Attenborough’s powerful documentary takes viewers on a breath-taking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival – more full of life, wonder, or surprise – than the ocean.

In the film, 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 ocean recovery is vital for stabilising our climate and securing a healthier future for us all.

He also explains how marine protection – if immediately implemented – can help to turn the tide.

After the film you’ll hear from a panel of marine scientists, hosted by EcoNetwork President Iain Watt.

“We’ll share insights on Port Stephens’ unique marine life, and importantly, on what the community can do to help ensure our oceans are protected,” organisers said.

“Book your free ticket today as we are expecting a full house.

“Donations are welcome on the evening.”

Doors open at 1:30pm.
