Matt Norwood, Darling Marine Center Tue, 02/23/2021 - 8:15am On Tuesday, March 2 at 7 p.m., the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center and Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust will host a panel discussion with Ian Cheney, director of the 2020 documentary, “The Long Coast.” Cheney will be joined by DMC Director Heather Leslie, Coastal Rivers Director of Education & Citizen Science Sara Gladu, and others from the community for a short discussion of the film and its insights into the changing environment and culture along the Maine coast. “The Long Coast” is a series of lyrical portraits that illuminates the stories of Maine residents whose lives and livelihoods are inextricably connected to the ocean. It is an atmospheric film that shows the beauty, intimacy and uncertainty that coastal dwellers face when they root their lives in the ocean, particularly as human actions — from overfishing, to aquaculture, to warming seas — confront Maine and its people with profound change.
