Description

Gary Griggs (Director, Institute of Marine Sciences) will introduce the topic of sand, demands for its use, and human impacts on the sand supply system in California and Monterey Bay. The movie, Sand Wars is a surprising and disturbing investigation into one of the most consumed natural resources on the planet.
