Yesterday we went to Bald Head Island to study climate change in the maritime forest. We met with Dr. Snider, and he told us about the ecosystem of a maritime forest and how in the past it will roll over and migrate gradually. But with climate change, the forest can't keep with the rising oceans. Another issue is with the supply of freshwater below the sand--it gradually dissipates as sea levels rise. We walked through the maritime forest, observed the different plants and trees, and then we went to the nature conservancy on Bald Head and toured that along with Old Baldy, the light house.
Right now in the project we are working on a video treatment worksheet and a video shot list to determine the timing and placement of the different components of our film. Another aspect of this is contacting people to interview. I just finished emailing meteorologists, asking them if they would conduct an interview with us. Our next trip is to Holly Shelter on November 19th.
