Barnegat Bay is an estuary. A convergence of fresh water from rivers and creeks with salt water from the Atlantic. It is one of the most productive ecosystems in the country. It is the stage on which species play out life’s performance to reproduce, restore, relax. This film allows the viewer to drift through 50 years of complex issues through a series of short vignettes, using a variety of perspectives, viewpoints, and experiences. Whether trumpeting the negative impact of invasive species such as bay nettles, or the return of the once-decimated coastal raptors such as osprey, the film moves from topic to topic in a stirring and breathtaking manner. The message is clear: we all must be unabated in our efforts to protect this natural wonder for ourselves, for wildlife, and for future generations.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Erin Fleming and others.
This film is part of the Princeton Environmental Film Festival. The festival runs from April 1-10. To find information on all screenings, in person and virtual, please visit: peff.eventive.org
