Loads
of Teeth Found on First Shark Tooth Collecting Trip
|
|
 Our first trip down to Venice to hunt
for Shark Teeth was last week, and it was a huge success! Everybody
found teeth, with lots and lots of variety of different things to find.
'I was really pleasantly surprised with all the
different types of teeth and fossils we were finding down there',
says Trip Leader John Harman. 'In a lot of spots you are just
finding one kind of tooth, but in Venice you find fossils from all
different kinds of sharks, whales, stingrays.... there's really
a lot to find.'

Our
Bay - Our Choice
|
|
As
part of the Smart, Green & Growing initiative, the Department of
Natural Resources has released a Top 10 list of action items citizens
can do to save the Chesapeake Bay. Recently,
scientists and environmental experts noted that some river
systems may have reached a "tipping point," where
self-reinforcing elements within the ecosystem are working to maintain
either positive or negative trends. An increase in underwater bay
grasses, for example, can promote the growth of more bay grasses,
improving water clarity, increasing oxygen levels and providing better
habitat for fish and crabs.

Award
Winning Marine Documentary Slated For Release This Summer
|
 Sundance Award-Winning thriller The
Cove will be released in theaters throughout the country beginning this
summer. Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) and Roadside Attractions have acquired all
U.S. rights to the film, while The Works International, in conjunction
with James Atherton's London-based Quickfire Films Fund, acquired
distribution rights for all other territories outside North America.
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance
Film Festival, The Cove is an astounding piece of investigative
journalism with the heart of an action thriller. Led by Louie Psihoyos,
co-founder of the Ocean Preservation Society, and Richard O'Barry, an
internationally recognized authority on dolphin training who is best
known for his work on the 1960's TV show "Flipper," the film
follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about
the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taji, Japan.
Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and
cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village
serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening
worldwide.
A
local premier of The Cove is scheduled in Washington, DC to take place on
July 16th at the Landmark's E Street Cinema at 7:30pm.
The film will be publicly released July 31st in New York and
Los Angeles and will expand into additional markets the following week.
Screenings are scheduled at the Bethesda Row Cinema and the Landmark
Harbor East 7 Cinema during the first week of August. For more
