A Sea Change
| Director: | Barbara Ettinger |
| Year: | 2008 |
| Origin: | Norway |
| Runtime: | 85 minutes |
Both a personal journey and an unflinching look at reality...
Since the Industrial Revolution the world's oceans have changed dramatically. Sven Huseby asks how he will explain to his oldest grandchild, Elias, what is happening to the oceans and their ecosystems.
“Huseby launches an adorable road trip to meet the world's leading oceanographers and global warming experts to better understand the magnitude of the problem, and learn how to start curing it. The journey takes us as far north as the North Pole and as local as Monterey in search of helpful news.
Like "An Inconvenient Truth," this film is both a love letter to the planet and an urgent plea to its citizens.” —Justin Berton, San Francisco Chronicle
Cod: Renewing a Bountiful Catch

Fish harvesters, scientists, and heritage experts describe the past abundance of cod in our waters and how we can help the species recover.
Combined with historic data, these recollections give us a baseline for a common vision to restore cod stocks to their former abundance. Stories of large cod, juvenile cod, and underwater footage of spawning behaviour recorded by the Marine Institute highlight life history features that are important to recovery.
