photographer from Hawaii as she becomes familiar with the extraordinary beauty, power and skills of one of the most infamous classification of sharks - the Requiem Family. Our educators will introduce the film with fun, interactive shark activities for the
audience, and follow-up with an opportunity for families to share their feelings and questions about sharks. Watch the trailer here:

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">While traditionally viewed by people as menacing creatures to be avoided at all costs, sharks are actually the ones with reason to fear. While only a handful of people are fatally attacked by sharks
each year, fishing pressure and additional threats from humans are responsible for millions of sharks killed annually, with reported population reductions in many species around the globe in recent years. Dr. John Mandelman from the New England Aquarium will
be here to discuss the most glaring threats to these animals, why they are so vulnerable to these threats, and the positive conservation actions and shark image changes that bode well for the future fate of their populations. Among other topics, he will also
debunk some of the myths surrounding shark-human interactions, specifically shed light on New England species, and discuss the amazing diversity across the now 500+ identified sharks, as well as their relatives the stingrays and skates.<o:p></o:p></p>
