The Coastal Communities Conference in Nantucket, Massachusetts is hosting a special sneak preview of Ocean Frontiers Thursday, 7pm, September 29 at the Nantucket Yacht Club

Rachel Hobart, director of ReMain Nantucket and conference host said, “We are thrilled to present this special sneak preview of Ocean Frontiers—the film is the perfect way to kickoff our Coastal Communities Conference. There is tremendous interest in Ocean Frontiers.” The conference brings together scientists, city planners, stewards of the environment, and government officials to explore the impact of coastal and marine spatial planning on how we use our waterways.

Whether you are hosting a conference, workshop or meeting on the national ocean policy and marine spatial planning, Ocean Frontiers is an ideal way to help people understand these seemingly complex issues through the engaging, solutions-oriented stories of people practicing marine spatial planning across the country. Contact the Producers, Green Fire Productions, to use Ocean Frontiers in your work.
