Description:Ocean Frontiers: The Dawn of a New Era in Ocean Stewardship takes audiences on an inspiring voyage to seaports and watersheds across the country—from the busy shipping lanes of Boston Harbor to a small fishing community in the Pacific Northwest; from America’s coral reefs in the Florida Keys to the nation’s premier seafood nursery in the Mississippi Delta. Here we meet an intermingling of unlikely allies, of industrial shippers and whale biologists, farmers and wetland ecologists, sport fishers and reef snorkelers and many more, all of them embarking on a new course of cooperation, to sustain the sea and our ocean economies. The stories in Ocean Frontiers help audiences understand key principles of coastal and marine spatial planning, also known as ocean planning, and ecosystem-based management. Unlike traditional approaches to natural resource management that view ecosystems and species in isolation, ocean planning and ecosystem-based management see the world as a system instead of a collection of independent pieces, and recognize people and our activities as part of the environment. These complex concepts come to life and are easy to grasp through the stories and people featured in Ocean Frontiers. This document was created to guide discussion surrounding several "big picture" issues isolated in the Ocean Frontiers documentary series. The discussion guide was developed for use during screening events and to help educators incorporate Ocean Frontiers into post-secondary classrooms and facilitate discussions on collaborative ocean planning and the future of our oceans.
