ALONE A DROP...

TOGETHER AN OCEAN

Celebrate 25 years of MERR with a special screening 9/21

The Marine Education Research and Rehabilitation (MERR) Institute is marking its 25th anniversary with a special free screening of the acclaimed 2025 documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, to celebrate a quarter century of marine conservation education, research and rescue. The event will be held at the Rehoboth Art Cinema on Sunday, September 21, at 6:30 p.m.

This exclusive screening will serve as the official kickoff for MERR's year-long 25th-anniversary celebration, honoring a quarter-century of dedicated service to the marine life of the Delaware coast.

Following the film, attendees will have a unique opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with two distinguished guests:

Kevin Mohs, Former National Geographic Executive. Kevin brings a wealth of experience from his work on acclaimed series such as "Ocean Xplorers," "Titanic: 20 Years Later with James Cameron," and "Life Below Zero."

Suzanne Thurman, the founder and executive director of the MERR Institute. A leading expert in marine mammal stranding response and rehabilitation in the state, Ms. Thurman will provide insights into the local conservation efforts that mirror the global mission showcased in the film.

"We are thrilled to mark this incredible milestone with our community," Thurman said. "This film beautifully illustrates the majesty and fragility of our oceans, which is at the very heart of MERR's mission. To have Kevin Mohs, whose work has brought so much awareness to the natural world, join us for this conversation makes the event even more special."

The screening is free and open to the public, but donations will be accepted at the door. Seating is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and tickets must still be acquired via rehobothfilm.com.
