100 Yards of Hope: A Mission to Restore the Ocean and Revitalize Human Purpose – A Screening and Panel Discussion 

What happens when former combat veterans, marine scientists, and conservationists join in a shared mission to preserve and restore our ocean? In 2019, the National Football League and its Miami Super Bowl Host Committee formed a unique partnership with the nonprofit FORCE BLUE to address two seemingly unrelated problems—the rapidly declining health of ocean resources and the difficulty returning combat veterans have adjusting to civilian life.<a href="#_msocom_1" target="_blank">[SM1]</a>&nbsp;<a href="#_msocom_2" target="_blank">[SM2]</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; Join us for a special screening of 100 Yards of Hope, a documentary film showcasing FORCE BLUE’s work to restore Florida’s coral reefs. Learn how an elite team of special operations veterans united with University of Miami marine scientists and conservationists to create a model for caring, cooperation, and positive change that is transforming lives and restoring our planet. A moderated panel discussion follows. Free of charge and open to the public, this screening is presented in partnership with the Lowell Institute, NFL Green, and the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the program starts promptly at 6:30 p.m. ++ About: FORCE BLUE is a nonprofit organization that unites combat veterans with the marine science and conservation communities. FORCE BLUE recruits the most highly skilled, highly trained individuals within the veteran Special Operations community, trains them under the tutelage of marine scientists and conservationists, then redeploys them on missions of preservation and restoration around the globe. The result is a work force capable of achieving great things for themselves, their families, the communities FORCE BLUE serves and the planet as a whole. In addition to coral restoration and rehabilitation, FORCE BLUE works to mitigate coral disease, remove marine debris, conduct underwater surveys, map shipwrecks, eradicated invasive species, assist with marine mammal and reptile rescue, and conduct scientific research and development, including shark tagging. &nbsp; NFL GREEN is the National Football League's environmental program that has worked since 1993 to reduce the environmental footprint of mega-events and build green legacy projects in the communities that host those events. In partnership with Verizon and led by Jack and Susan Groh, NFL GREEN has planted nearly 300,000 trees in communities across America, built community gardens, restored native habitat, and developed special projects around coral restoration, kelp forest rescue, and river ecosystem restoration.
