The national park idea is one area where this has been true. A century ago when our nation created the National Park Service, Americans and people around the world knew very little about the ocean. Using the power of photography and film once again, the Sea of Hope is the beginning of an effort to educate and engage this next generation in what's at stake and what they can do to protect our planet. John Bridgeland is Executive Producer of Sea of Hope and was former Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, member of the National Park System Advisory Board, and co-leader of the cabinet-level review of climate change in 2001. The Sea of Hope film is produced by Bob and Sarah Nixon.
