![](mailto:?subject=Last Live Showings of "This is Your Oceans: Sharks"&body=Documentary to Show at Two Cobb Theatres in Palm Beach County
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL—FEBRUARY 30, 2012— The award-winning nature documentary, <a title="TIYO: Sharks web site" href="http://www.thisisyourocean.com/" target="_blank">This is Your Oceans: Sharks</a>, completes its national tour with a series of final live showings in Palm Beach County starting March 21st with a gala evening event at <a title="Downtown 16 Theatre web site" href="http://www.cobbtheatres.com/downtown16.aspx" target="_blank">Cobb Theatres 16</a> at <a title="Downtown at the Gardens web site" href="http://downtownatthegardens.com/" target="_blank">Downtown at the Gardens</a> in Palm Beach Gardens.
The film’s stars—celebrated marine artists and conservationists Dr. <a title="Guy Harvey Inc. web site" href="http://www.guyharvey.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey</a> and <a title="Wyland's web site" href="http://www.wyland.com" target="_blank">Wyland</a> along with shark expert and diver <a title="JASA web site" href="http://www.scuba-adventures.com/index.php" target="_blank">Jim Abernethy</a> and Emmy award winning director <a title="About George Schellenger" href="http://www.statusproductions.com/aboutus.html" target="_blank">George C. Schellenger</a>— are scheduled to attend the first showing, which will also feature a live auction of the artists’ original art. Tickets for the gala evening, which include light hors d'oeuvres and wine, are priced at $22.
All of the net proceeds from the gala opening and subsequent showings of the film at both Cobb Theatres 16 at Downtown at the Gardens and Cobb Theaters 18 in Jupiter are being donated to the <a title="BNT web site" href="http://www.bnt.bs/" target="_blank">Bahamas National Trust</a> which recently headed a campaign resulting in the <a title="Guy Harvey Comments on Bahamas Shark Ban" href="http://guyharvey.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/guy-harvey-applauds-decision-to-ban-commercial-shark-fishing-in-bahamas/" target="_blank">Government of the Bahamas prohibiting all commercial shark fishing</a> in its more than 240,000 square miles of territorial waters. The Bahamas is the fourth country to ban shark fishing after Honduras, the Maldives and Palau.
One of the premier shark-watching destinations for divers, reeling in $800 million over the past 20 years for the Bahamian national economy, sharks, according to Dr. Harvey, are worth much more alive than dead.
“Many countries have seen their populations of sharks annihilated by commercial over-exploitation,” said Dr. Harvey. “Research has shown that shark populations do not recover. Other countries will take encouragement from the Bahamas’ very bold move. They are realizing very quickly the value of the living shark in maintaining the health of reef ecosystems. In addition, the economic value of a living shark to ecotourism is now widely accepted as a sustainable and non-consumptive use of a marine resource with many additional benefits to respective island nations.”
Instrumental in bringing the shark documentary to Palm Beach is Jeffrey Berman, whose company, <a title="Berman Enterprises web site" href="http://www.bermanenterprises.com/index.html" target="_blank">Berman Enterprises LP</a>, owns and manages Downtown at the Gardens.
“This documentary certainly changed the way I looked at these magnificent animals and gave me a new understanding of why it’s so important to be caretakers for our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them,” said Berman. “I have to especially thank the folks from Cobb Theatres for donating the theaters for these showings, it was a very generous commitment.”
Joining Cobb as sponsors are <a title="WFM web site" href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/" target="_blank">Whole Foods Market</a> and the <a title="GHOF web site" href="http://www.guyharveyoceanfoundation.org" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation</a>.
This is Your Ocean: Sharks, which premiered last year at the prestigious <a title="NBFF web site" href="http://www.newportbeachfilmfest.com/2012/" target="_blank">Newport Beach Film Festival</a>, reveals up close the misconceptions and myths surrounding these misunderstood predators of the sea and promotes global shark conservation. Millions of sharks are killed each year in the shark-fin trade to stratify the global appetite for shark-fin soup.
The film’s director, George Schellenger, said following the Palm Beach County live showings the documentary will be available to home audiences via Blu Ray, DVD and downloads.
