The Friends of Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary is bringing the underwater world to life if Port Washington, Wisconsin. On March 20th, attendees will be treated to a screening of the acclaimed film “All Too Clear”, by filmmakers Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick. The film runs 60 minutes in length and will be followed by a 30-minute talkback and Q & A with the film’s co-director Yvonne Drebert. Refreshments will be offered from Hollander Chocolate Co. & Tulip Cafe.
 
“All Too Clear" uses cutting-edge underwater drones to explore how quadrillions of tiny invasive mussels, known as quaggas, are re-engineering the ecosystem of the Great Lakes at a scale not seen since the glaciers. To capture this epic change, the husband-and-wife filmmaking team of Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert spent more than 150 days filming underwater, making it the most ambitious underwater film ever made about the Great Lakes. Part scientific exploration, part natural history adventure – the film showcases freshwater wildlife and environments like never before.
 
The event is hosted in collaboration with the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary, International Ocean Film Festival, and National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
