"Chasing Coral" presented by Rotary Club of St. Thomas Wed Mar 4

Doug White, Environmental Chairperson for the Rotary Club of St. Thomas East cordially invites the public to attend the Club’s bi-weekly environmentally themed video presentation entitled Chasing Coral (1hr.29m) on Wednesday, March 4th, 2020 at 6:30 p.m.

“This environmental movie hopes to raise the community’s awareness of the major threat that the Climate Crisis and Global Warming pose for the survival of the ocean’s coral reefs,” states White.

In the film, divers, scientists and photographers from around the world mount an epic underwater campaign to document the disappearance of coral reefs.  The use of time-lapse photography allows viewers to see the bleaching and death of coral reefs, as it happens.  The film’s producers provide credible evidence in support of the belief that the primary cause of reef death is ocean warming caused by Climate Change/Global Warming.

The Rotary Club of St. Thomas East urges the pubic to learn more about the environmental issues as well as how we can all make a meaningful difference. Join us on Wednesday, March 4th at 6:30 p.m. in the Nazareth by the Sea Episcopal Church located in the Red Hook Plaza Building (formerly the hardware store space).

The public is invited to attend for FREE. Light food ($5.00/plate) and wine tickets ($5.00/glass) will be available for purchase throughout the event.
