National Geographic_Q-A.docx

Hi Mara,
 
Attached are questions submitted to us by National Geographic for a documentary. It will include an
on-camera interview with Michael Shirley, PhD, director of the GTM Research Reserve. This
interview was facilitated by Audubon Florida, one of our partners at the Reserve. Participating in
this program was previously approved by Pam (see below).
 
I have reviewed, discussed with Mike and edited. I am sending on to the press office for final edits.
Once edited/approved by the press office, the questions/answers will be submitted to National
Geographic for their script. We need this document back within the 3-business day timeline that
you require or end of business, May 29. National Geographic has tentatively scheduled filming at
the Reserve within the first week of June. We have not been provided the exact date yet.
 
This program will most likely air within six months to a year. I believe that participation in a National
Geographic program could be a great public relations opportunity for the Reserve, the Florida
Coastal Office, the DEP and the state of Florida.
 
Thanks so much,
Patrician

Hi Pam,
 
Please see the email below.  I have been asked to participate in a National Geographic/Audubon film
about sea level rise. My participation will be to discuss the Matanzas Bain Project
(http://planningmatanzas.org/)  and to focus on the efforts underway to measure sea level rise and
adapt to it in Northeast Florida (e.g., salt marsh monitoring, living shorelines, the GTM Coastal and
Estuarine Land Conservation Program proposal, the recent NOAA funded scientific field station at
princess place).
 
Thanks,

 Mike

Hey Mike!
 
I am working with another Audubon Florida staff on a film about sea level rise and how it will affect
saltmarshes in northeast Florida.  I was thinking that you would be a great person to get on video
discussing the GTMNERR sea level rise planning project and some anticipated affects and future
planning y’all are doing J.  I have a camera that I can use to film you, but we also have a crew from
National Geographic coming the first week of May to do some filming as well.  Marianne is still
working on who/what she wants NG to film, but I wanted to see if you would be willing to be on
camera for us.  Let me know what you think!
 
Cheers,
Stef
