animal and plant species that
supply us with nourishment and more than half of all the oxygen we
breathe.
The America’s Ocean Challenge is producing a suite of
inspirational,
educational and entertaining products. The flagship of AOC will be
an Imax
film, accompanied by TV and high definition films for smaller
theaters and
venues. DVD’s, CD ROM’s, web sites and educational programs will be
developed and implemented into our national community.
