| IRS990/Description | 0 | Otter Project: Sea Studios Foundation continued the multi-year film and outreach project, "Strange Days on Planet Earth, Oceans and Fresh Water". The project includes 4 films. 2012 activities resulted in final production and theatrical release of the film, "Otter 501" and production activities related to a traditional documentary film on otters for public television. The film, "Otter 501" uses the southern sea otter as a case study of coastal issues to indicate how changes are impacting one iconic species. This phase of the project explores the growing mystery surrounding the declining population of the sea otter. Coastal areas globally are being affected by a similar set of influences and the sea otter is a visible and charismatic character with which to illustrate the growing threat from the combined impact of human interventions in the oceans. An extensive outreach platform, including public speaking engagements, screening toolkits & materials for schools, educational resource kits, full and cut-down versions of "Otter 501" for public and informal science education institutional use were developed. Sea Studios Foundation also completed 10 mini-documentaries exploring the issues raised "beyond the film". These were utilized in the interactive educational website, "otter501webStory" as well as extensively on "Otter 501" social media sites. The mission of this project is to reach and engage the widest possible audience and educate the public about critical environmental threats to our oceans, marine life, ecological balance and health of our planet as well as affect impact with "What You Can Do" information. The sea otter portion of the project in 2012 supports previous year's activities in which the films "Dirty Secrets" and "Dangerous Catch" and related outreach were produced. "Dirty Secrets" addressed issues of marine debris and "Dangerous Catch" highlighted global impact of over-fishing. |
