Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine | A NOVA SPECIAL PRESENTATION

Wednesday, July 24 at 10

This three-part documentary is a story about a sea within the sea, a body of water that is warming 99% faster than the global ocean. What happens here — for the animals in the water, for the jobs dependent upon them and for the millions of people along its shores — is likely to happen worldwide.

The Gulf of Maine and its bounty was forever changed by European settlers and this episode lays bare how centuries of brilliant and often catastrophic innovation led to an unnatural extraction. Now with the Gulf warming faster than 97 percent of the global ocean, witness how people and wildlife are – or are not – adapting to rapid change.
