The 60-minute documentary “Sonic Sea” about the impact of industrial and military ocean noise on whales and other marine life will be shown Wednesday evening at Waterman’s Brewing Co. in Wilmington.
Doors open at 6 p.m., the film starts at 6:30 p.m., and a panel of experts will be on hand after the showing for questions from the audience. The event is free but donations are welcome.
