DESCRIPTION: Salem Progressive Film Series-Second Thursday documentary- A Sea Change
A Sea Change documents how the pH balance of the oceans has changed dramatically since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution: a 30% increase in acidification. The film presents in a generally understandable way the process of ocean acidification, some of its potential implications for this and future generations, and several examples of concrete steps that we can take to reduce this and other problems associated with increasing carbon dioxide emissions. The film raises public awareness and facilitates open discussion of this important issue.

George Waldbusser, Assistant Professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at OSU
