Event Details

Presented by National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry.

Brian Skerry has covered a diverse range of stories, from the harp seal's struggle to survive in frozen waters, to the alarming decrease in the world's fisheries.  For stories in back-to-back issues of National Geographic during 2008, Skerry photographed Kingman Reef, one of the planet's last remaining pristine coral reefs, and documented the plight of the Right Whale, threatened by heavy shipping along the coastal waters it frequents.  In the May, 2009, issue of the magazine he will focus on the world's most endangered species of sea turtle with a story on leatherbacks. This special presentation will showcase work from these stories as well as other remaining Edens for sharks and the success of marine protected areas. An award-wining photographer praised for his aesthetic sense as well as his journalistic drive for relevance, Skerry will offer compelling, up-to-the-minute reports from the world's oceans.
