Friday Evening Program
Of The Sea: A Film About California Fishermen
Friday, January 31
7:00 p.m. inside the Sausalito Library

What can we learn from California fishermen about the ocean and our relationship to it? Join us for a screening of the documentary Of The Sea (2016, 82 minutes), followed by a question and answer session with producer and director Mischa Hedges. Due to complex regulations, high costs, and competition with cheap farmed and imported seafood, the number of fishing vessels in California has declined from over 6,900 in 1981 to just 1,800 vessels today. Struggling to revive a fading way of life, fishermen and entrepreneurs are creating new models for how to support sustainably produced seafood. Of The Sea tells the story of California fishing communities and presents a compelling story of the future of sustainable seafood.
