SAND WARS // An Investigative Documentary by Denis DelestracSand Mining and Coastal Erosion in Southern Monterey Bay Presented in March 2014 at the 11th Annual SFIOFF, Sand Wars won the Environment Award for its stunning cinematography and journalistic inquiry. Of the 45+ films screened at the film festival, SAND WARS was by far the most talked about film and the singular film audiences said they wished they could see again and have a friend see as well.The film addresses an issue that most people are not aware of, and as part of our mission to help protect and care for the ocean, sand mining is a discussion that addresses the health of the ocean.Join us for a special screening of the award winning film "Sand Wars", a documentary film followed by a panel discussion of local experts to explore the issues surrounding the widely unknown practice of sand mining, it's impact on the environment, and its consequences both locally and globally on neighboring populations.PANEL DISCUSSION PARTICIPANTSBob Battalio (Moderator), Vice-President of Northern California California Shore and Beach Preservation AssociationGary Griggs (pictured above), Distinguished Professor of Earth Sciences; Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, Ph.D.Jason Scorse, Associate Professor Middlebury Institue of International Studies Monterey, Ph.D.Ed Thornton, Emeritus Professor, Naval Postgraduate School, Ph.D. This Event is Presented By: ⚓San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival⚓ Surfrider Foundation⚓ California Shore & Beach Preservation Association⚓ National Marine Sanctuaries, Monterey BayPROGRAM DETAILS6:00 pm - Reception (wine & cheese) 6:30 pm - Film8:00 pm - Panel Discussion9:00 pm - Program Ends**Tickets may also be purchased at the door to this event.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Reduced rates now available - Adults - $5 // Faculty, Students, Senior - FREE
