Sonic Sea at the Whale Museum

The NRDC invites you to The Whale Museum next Tuesday for this screening of Sonic Sea…

Please join us at The Whale Museum on August 30 for a special kickoff screening of NRDC’s new documentary film “Sonic Sea.”

Once quiet, our seas are now filled with a cacophony of noise unleashed by oil prospectors, freight ships and military vessels that is making it hard for whales and other marine animals to survive.

“Sonic Sea” explores these devastating effects through the gripping story of former U.S. Navy officer, Ken Balcomb, who solved the mystery of a mass whale stranding and forever changed the way we understand our impact on the ocean.

Narrated by Rachel McAdams, the film features Sting and ocean luminaries Jean-Michel Cousteau, Dr. Sylvia Earle and Dr. Christopher Clark. “Sonic Sea” was produced by NRDC and Imaginary Forces in association with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Diamond Docs.

The 60-minute screening will be followed by a conversation with Michael Jasny, director of NRDC’s Marine Mammal Protection Project.

• What: “Sonic Sea” documentary screening and Q&A discussion
• When: Tuesday, August 30, 6:30 p.m.
• Where: The Whale Museum, 62 1st Street, Friday Harbor, WA 98250

After this special kick-off screening, “Sonic Sea” will be shown continuously in The Whale Museum’s Exhibit Hall beginning August 31. For museum hours and more about the museum, click here: http://whalemuseum.org/
