Ocean conservation promo

Posted on Apr 10 2008
The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and the National Wildlife Federation have partnered with Walden Media, producers of such films as Bridge to Terabithia, Charlotte’s Web, and The Chronicles of Narnia, to promote ocean conservation messages to the public, especially to young people, through the development of education materials for their newest film, Nim’s Island, released in theaters on April 4, 2008.
Nim’s Island is a heartfelt and hilarious adventure that chronicles the exploits of Nim, a young girl living a high-tech Robinson Crusoe existence on an unspoiled tropical island with her marine scientist father and her best friends—a motherly sea lion, a rambunctious iguana, a sea bird and sea turtle. The movie stars Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin as Nim.
Through this partnership, national marine sanctuaries and NWF are featured in the educational materials for Nim’s Island.
