Founded in 2020, the Blue Water Film Festival (BWFF) celebrates UN – World Water Day, every March 22nd and promotes San Diego, California as a hub for marine science, naval exploration and an epicenter for environmental storytelling. BWFF’s year round screening, panels, and events help to cultivate a burgeoning family-based, environmental and military community in San Diego and around the world. BWFF was founded by Greg Reitman to bridge the world of environmental activism and storytelling. It profiles a variety of events including film premieres and screenings, educational panels, high-level networking, social gatherings, and culminates with the Blue Water Awards Show.
You can't protect what you can't see. 'Eyes on the Seafloor' will take you on a journey below the surface of the ocean with Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE) to explore and document never before seen areas. With a fleet of underwater submersibles, MARE explores deep ocean environments to support scientific research and education. Diving down to depths of 1,000 meters the MARE Team collects data to inform ocean management in our changing oceans.
