OA Alliance short film: “CHANGING WATERS”

One of the OA Alliance’s core objectives is to increase awareness and visibility of ocean acidification as a climate-ocean impact and call for an ambitious response. We are exploring creative ways to make the “unseen” impacts of climate-ocean change seen and emotionally felt, with the goal of motivating larger constituencies to action.

To this end, we partnered with LUMA Storytelling to create a short film featuring OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change in North America, Latin America, and the Pacific Island Region

about the short film:

“Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification,“ features OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change in North America, Latin America, and the Pacific Island Region.

Filmed in Washington State, Colombia, and Fiji, this character-led short film follows real individuals from the government, indigenous communities, the seafood industry, and scientists who are responding to the accelerating impacts of ocean acidification and calling for action.

The piece aims to inspire broader awareness of this work and accelerate action at a critical moment for climate policy and financing.

We want to feature the OAA network of government and non-government members who are committed to take climate-ocean action. We want to provide a platform to showcase their work to inspire understanding, emotional resonance, and change. 

Giving a special focus on the large layer of inequity that exists. Where 70% of all ocean acidification knowledge is currently produced in N. America and European countries, demonstrating a huge equity gap when it comes to taking effective action at an international level.
