  • Tuesday, September 10, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern – Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine, Live and Online

    The New England Aquarium and GBH present a special behind-the-scenes look at NOVA’s three-part series Sea Change: The Gulf of Maine as part of the Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series. Featuring imagery by acclaimed film producer and veteran photojournalist Brian Skerry, the series examines the changes taking place in the Gulf of Maine, a body of water that is warming 97 percent faster than the global ocean. Blending science, exploration, natural history, and stories of human experience, Sea Change illuminates how the gulf may serve as a preview of what might happen in other parts of the world due to climate change. Free.
