Plastic in ocean is subject of film
The threat of plastic debris in the ocean and its impact on marine life is the subject of a documentary showing tomorrow at the University of Hawaii-Manoa campus.
"Synthetic Sea Story" follows members of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation to the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" (technically the North Pacific Sub-tropical Gyre between Hawaii and California) as they sample and study the ocean-born rubbish.
Part of this month's Plastic and Hawaii's Marine Life lecture/film series, the 6:30 p.m. screening at the Department of Architecture Auditorium will be followed by a discussion with Dean Otsuki and Suzanne Frazer, co-founders of BEACH (Beach Environmental Awareness Campaign Hawaii).
Admission is free. For this and future events, visit www.b-e-a-c-h.org/ april09series.html.
