Screening Events

California's citizens are currently facing complex issues about our shoreline from the science of how beaches work to coastal policy, development and conservation concerns. KQED has been working closely with a variety of coastal educational groups including government agencies, aquariums, marine research centers, and oceanography and environmental studies departments at universities to create strategic collaborations that will inform local communities across California about coastal issues.

Please see the listing below of community screening events. Please check back for updated listings. Unless otherwise sited, at least one KQED co-producer of Coastal Clash will participate in the panel discussion at each event.
