Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific hosted a special screening of “Vanishing Coral” and the BBC's "Blue Planet" episode on "Coral Seas" in its Ocean Theater. The Aquarium of the Pacific, a nonprofit educational institution, displays coral in several exhibits and is involved in a coral restoration project in Guam.
Heal The Bay offers an outlet to take direct action to help the environment. Heal the Bay invited viewers to participate in a petition to maintain funding for the Environmental Protection Agency and to participate in Heal the Bay’s biggest beach cleanup of the year on April 15. Thousands of volunteers learned more about threats to our ocean ecosystems and how to protect our special places.
