In celebration of World Oceans Day, the Foundation premiered its latest film, Coral Reefs: Trouble in Paradise, at our 3rd annual film screening. The film focuses on coral bleaching in the Chagos Archipelago, a remote island chain in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The showing was followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and scientists, a special report on the ongoing global coral bleaching event, and a plastic-free reception.

As the program progresses, we continue to gather feedback to see how their knowledge evolves from identifying mangrove species and understanding food webs to recognizing the role mangroves play in coastal protection and climate change mitigation.
But the surveys go beyond science content.
