Boston premiere of “Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine, A NOVA Special Presentation” documentary & conversation with filmmaking team

WHAT: The New England Aquarium and GBH present a special behind-the-scenes look at NOVA’s three-part series “Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine” as part of the Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series. Featuring imagery by acclaimed film producer and veteran photojournalist Brian Skerry, the series examines the changes taking place in the Gulf of Maine, a body of water that is warming 97 percent faster than the global ocean. Blending science, exploration, natural history, and stories of human experience, “Sea Change” illuminates how the gulf may serve as a preview of what might happen in other parts of the world due to climate change.

Following the screening, which will include highlights from the series, there will be a panel discussion and Q&A with Skerry, a longtime Aquarium Explorer-in-Residence and National Geographic underwater photographer, and other members of the filmmaking team about their experiences documenting and studying this spectacular wilderness, and how the communities that live and work along the Gulf of Maine’s shores are working to sustain its future.

The Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series is presented free to the public through the generosity of the Lowell Institute.

WHEN: Tuesday, September 10 at 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: In person at the New England Aquarium’s Simons Theatre, 1 Central Wharf, Boston or virtual via live stream.
