OA Alliance short film: CHANGING WATERS

Ocean acidification is accelerating -  yet most people have never heard of it.

Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification aims to change that.

In just 15 minutes, this character-led short film brings science to life. Following real individuals from government, indigenous communities, the seafood industry, and scientists, this film showcases their response to the accelerating impacts of ocean acidification and their calls for action.

Filmed by LUMA Storytelling in Washington State, Colombia, and Fiji Changing Waters features OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change in North America, Latin America, and the Pacific Island Region.

This is not a story of doom. On the contrary, it’s about all that we can still save by taking ambitious climate action and the leadership shown by those who refuse to give up.
