Lights, Camera, Action!

Scientific research is the bread and butter of the Living Oceans Foundation, but public outreach is another key component of our work. During the last two weeks that we have been researching in the Tuamotu Archipelago, we have been joined by a film crew. Producer John Ruthven and Cameraman Ernie Kovacs have been documenting our scientific team at work, as well as gathering natural history footage of the many sharks, turtles and smaller creatures that we see daily. The film will be completed by the middle of 2013 and broadcast later in the year. We’ll let you know where and when you can see it!
