Project Ocean

The ocean is calling. Are we brave enough to answer?

Project Ocean Seattle – The Art of Staying Present

It was day 11 on the road, our last day of West Coast Project Ocean production. We awoke with five hours of sleep after a 22-hour day to film with our seventh and final nonprofit of the trip. We had crossed the country to film the first six organizations with five flights, seven hotel changes and who knows how many hours in the rental car.

Project Ocean Bellingham – A Long-Awaited Hug

Filming in California for the first week of June means we’re going to come back to Virginia with jealousy-inducing tans to last the rest of the year.

Project Ocean Santa Cruz: Part 2 – A Place to Grow Old

Project Ocean had us retracing our steps back to Santa Cruz near the end of our first week of West Coast production, this time to catch Save The Waves Coalition to film their first ever summit.

Project Ocean San Francisco – Views and Almost Views

I’ve never seen a waterfall at the beach.  That is, until I was cruising across the murky (and I’m told rather sharky) waters of Drake’s Bay off the coast of middle/Northern California.

Project Ocean Santa Cruz: Part 1 – Chocolate, Seasick, Inspired

As a former news reporter, I was taught never to bury the lead. This is not a food blog, but nevertheless, I must grace you with this headliner: A place exists in the world called Chocolate The Restaurant. It’s in Santa Cruz. Go. There is hope for us all.

Project Ocean Monterey – Empathy and Turtles

When I saw this quote standing tall on a white and strategically lit column in the middle of a busy bird exhibit in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I knew it would make it into our Project Ocean film. I wasn’t exactly sure where or how it would appear, but I knew instinctively that it captured a vision for the film I had not yet found the words to describe.

Project Ocean San Diego – A Place on Loan

Our director of photography, Rod, and I had settled in for our pre-shoot day routine of charging batteries and a nutritious (ish) dinner. Project Ocean had plucked us from the Virginia mountains, where the chill of spring at elevation still hung in the air, and benevolently dropped us down in a mildly breezy, salty aired San Diego.

Susan – Project Ocean

Now I have to admit, when I think about all the actions I could take to help our environment, I can easily get overwhelmed. But something I have been hearing lately that has helped me put this in perspective, is that this is not about perfection, but if everyone does a little to reduce, reuse, recycle - it can make a significant impact.
