Join us on an epic journey from the deepest depths of our ocean – the most uncharted and inaccessible place on our planet – to the future of green energy, and learn how the two are inextricably linked.

Narrated and executive produced by Jason Momoa, and interwoven with awe-inspiring footage of the deep’s most dazzling creatures, Deep Rising illuminates the vital relationship between our ocean’s fragile and mysterious ecosystems, and sustaining all life on Earth.

A riveting tale of geopolitical, corporate and scientific intrigue, the film exposes the inner workings of the International Seabed Authority (ISA): a secretive United Nation instrument which oversees nearly half our planet’s surface on the ocean floor. The ISA is empowered to greenlight the massive extraction of metals from the seabed which are deemed essential by some to fulfill demand for the current electric battery technology.

As extractive conglomerates pivot investments from oil and gas to deep-ocean mining, Deep Rising asks why we don’t instead choose to develop abundant resources to solve our growing energy demands.

Deep Rising reminds us that the seabed is the common heritage of humankind and highlights the urgent need to make the right decision for generations to come.

Storm Surge is pleased to announce its upcoming event in the Storm Surge Speaker Series, featuring Julie Wormser, a Senior Policy Advisor at the Mystic River Watershed Association and co-founder of the Resilient Mystic Collaborative.

The Resilient Mystic Collaborative promotes cooperation and commitment among 20 neighboring communities within Greater Boston's Mystic River Watershed. This innovative partnership is dedicated to safeguarding both its people and its cherished places from the intensifying impacts of climate change. Data driven, action oriented, optimistic and pragmatic, and mutually supportive, the Resilient Mystic Collaborative provides a model for addressing complex climate issues.

Recognizing the growing need for regional cooperation in securing grants and addressing common interests, municipalities are looking for ways to work  together.  Storm Surge eagerly anticipates Julie’s presentation, hoping to gain insights from the Resilient Mystic Collaborative's experience and explore its applicability to the North Shore region.

Following her  talk Julie will be joined by a local panel for Q/A consisting of  John Macone,  Merrimack River Watershed Council, Hanna Mogensen, Merrimack Valley Planning Commission and Erin Bonney Casey, Ipswich River Watershed Association.
