Maritime Museums unite for World Ocean Day

23 Maritime Museums across our global community participated in ‘Ocean with David Attenborough’ film, enjoyed by thousands of people, on World Ocean Day earlier this month.

Thanks to Australian National Maritime Museum, Minderoo Pictures and ICMM’s Ocean Sustainability Committee, we were able to offer our members the exclusive opportunity to screen ‘Ocean with David Attenborough’ free of charge plus additional funds to support promotion of the events. The photo above shows screenings that took place in the UK, The Philippines, Australia (Seaworks), Italy, USA and Barcelona, and Hong Kong!

These film screening events were developed with support from Minderoo Pictures. Thank you to Emily Jateff (ICMM Ocean Sustainability Committee member) and Daryl Karp (ICMM Executive Council member) at Australian National Maritime Museum for negotiating this exclusive offer for our ICMM member museums on behalf of the ICMM Ocean Sustainability Committee.
