Bio:
Natasha Benjamin is a marine scientist and filmmaker; she is media director for Marine Research and Exploration (MARE), founder of Mermaid Warrior (mermaidwarrior.com) and is currently producing a film about the collapse of our Kelp ecosystems (https://www.sequoiasofthesea.com/). This tells the story of the environmental, cultural and economic destruction impacting a coastal town that has lost its coastal kelp forest. It’s a deep dive into the lives of fishermen, tribes, scientists, and a community working to restore a habitat devastated by a warming climate. Watch the nice promotional video
