The White Rock documentary is touring Australia, bringing together scientists, chefs, fishers, and policymakers to tackle one of the biggest environmental challenges facing our oceans—the long spined sea urchin crisis. Monday May 5th. 6.30pm

From overgrazed reefs to thriving kelp forests, this film explores how we can turn a marine crisis into an opportunity for restoration, sustainable seafood, and policy action. Featuring Damon Gameau, White Rock is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for change.

Join us at a screening near you and be part of the conversation.
