We are pleased to announce the first recipient of the 2016 Filmmaker-In-Residence award - Kristen Weiss! Kristen's project A Series of Solutions will include four films each featuring an aspect of ocean health and sustainability related to the research that the Center for Ocean Solutions is leading. The Center for Ocean Solutions is a partnership of Stanford University (through the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and Hopkins Marine Station), the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
The 4 films will cover the following topics: 1) Protecting California's abalone from ocean acidification and oxygen shortages, 2) Improving ocean monitoring and protection through the Marine Biodiversity Observing Network, 3) Making coastlines resilient to sea level rise by protecting natural assets, focusing on protection of dunes and wetlands, which improves ocean health as well as protecting coastal human communities and 4) Improving sustainability in small-scale fisheries, focusing on how to sustain both marine resources and human livelihoods in these fisheries which are so important globally. Learn more about Kristen and her project HERE.
As part of her residency Kristen will be attending the CMG Catalyst Workshop on Healthy Oceans in Kensington, New Hampshire from September 29 - October 2, 2016.
Each year we select individuals to receive complete funding and creative liberty for a video project focused on either Renewable Energy Solutions or Healthy Oceans.
We would like to thank all those who applied for the Filmmaker-In-Residence program - the caliber and depth of our applicants made the process of deciding winners very difficult. Learn more about the Filmmaker-In-Residence program HERE - and stay tuned for updates on Kristen's project!
