Brilliant short highlight of defunct Miami attraction

I caught Planet Ocean just after it received an oscar nomination for Best short subject in 1975 at the only venue it ever screened- the NOAA operated PLANET OCEAN attraction across the street from the Miami Seaquarium on Key Biscayne in Florida. The attraction itself was a woefully under-advertised look at ecology and the wonders of the natural world with an emphasis on weather.  A recreated hurricane -ALVIN- a deep sea diving machine and an actual piece of glacier were most memorable. This short but breathtaking film on the fragile nature of our planet was a perfect intro to the exhibit. RIP Planet Ocean... you are MISSED!!!!!!
