About

Ocean State: Rhode Island's Wild Coast is a cinematic dive into the rich and threatened shoreline and marine ecosystems of R.I.. Told through vivid imagery, local science and voices on the frontlines of conservation, the film makes an urgent case for why these environments-and the species that depend on them-must be protected.

This project will conclude with a full-length documentary feature focusing on all topics of the region but also encompassing many conservation movements led by pioneering individuals from esteemed scientists to inspiring conservation leaders. Project is supported and sponsored by the Planet Fuel Charitable Fund.
