Due to construction on campus, we request that all guests attending both the April and May Sea Secrets Lectures park at the Miami Seaquarium.  They do not need a UM hang tag to park there for free if they mention they are going to Sea Secrets.  Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Please join us for the fourth presentation of the

2012 Sea Secrets Lecture Series:

SAVING SHARKS, OCEAN'S KEY PREDATORS

Stan Waterman

As one of the true pioneers in the shark diving community, Stan Waterman has dedicated his life to the documentation of marine life with over fifty films and videos that have garnered five Emmy® Awards. Currently on the Board of Shark Savers, Waterman is focused on the vital importance of these apex predators to the health of the ocean food chain. He will feature clips from his 1968 film “Blue Water, White Death,” share his work with oceanic white tip sharks and discuss his pioneering efforts in advancing the idea of safe relationships with these magnificent creatures. Packed with extraordinary visuals and mind-blowing tales, this lecture is sure to have some serious ‘bite’.
