October 18, 2003 – Los
Angeles
A Benefit For
PLANETARY CORAL REEF FOUNDATION
James Cameron:
Honorary Chairman
Famed director James Cameron (Titanic, The
Abyss) returns as Honorary Chair and sailor as the Planetary Coral Reef Foundation's
(PCRF) celebrity friends Race for the Reefs once more on October 18, 2003. Bill Paxton,
Maria Shriver, Billy Campbell, Frances Fisher, Tom Arnold, Jessica Alba, and Billy Zane
are just a few of the celebrities who joined Jim in the first Race for the Reefs.
Race for the Reefs takes place at the
California Yacht Club, focusing global attention on the coral reef crisis while raising
support for PCRF. Known as the "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs are the
most biodiverse of all marine ecosystems, serving as a barometer for the health of our
oceans and, by extension, our global environment. They are in crisis, dying at an alarming
rate worldwide.
PCRF's ongoing Save the Coral Reefs
Expedition aboard the RV Heraclitus pursues a unique mix of research activities and
cultural outreach programs dedicated to mapping, preserving and restoring the earth's
coral reefs, often pioneering new technologies along the way. As no comprehensive baseline
map of living coral reefs has been charted, the crew of the RV Heraclitus, in partnership
with scientists at College of Charleston, M.I.T., Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
SeaSpace, Stevens Institute of Technology and USC, is working to accomplish this ambitious
goal by pioneering a Coral Reef Satellite Mission. This will be the first space mission
dedicated to the stewardship of coral reefs.
