Ocean 101 Workshop: Sharks in Focus

Event

Ocean 101 Workshop Series:
Sharks in Focus - Myths, Mysteries
and Make-up
Saturday, August 7 from 9 - 11 a.m.
Georgia Aquarium

Just saying the word "shark" can strike fear in a person. Where does this fear come from? Sharks get a bad rap because of the way they are represented in movies, video games and in the news. During this program, popular myths and legends about sharks will be laid to rest. Participants will also get up-close and personal with some of the species of sharks at the Georgia Aquarium and learn what makes a shark such an amazing animal. Families are encouraged.

Science on Tap: Coral Catastrophe

Science on Tap: Coral Catastrophe 2000 and a Decade Later
Thursday, Aug 19 from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Speaker: Dr. Bruce Carlson, Senior Scientist, and Marj Awai, Biologist

Coral reefs around the world have changed considerably in recent years. Using photographs and data collected over nearly 40 years, Bruce and Marj will present a story about how reefs in the Pacific have changed and some of the causes. They will also discuss coral culture techniques they helped pioneer in the 1970's that helped make possible the development of the large Pacific Barrier Reef Exhibit at Georgia Aquarium. Exhibits like this one may be increasingly important for conservation in future years as corals disappear in more and more areas of the world.
