BroadStage Presents NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE: FROM SHALLOWS TO SEAFLOOR In January 2023

Featured as part of the National Geographic Live touring speaker series across North America, which brings to life the awe-inspiring stories of National Geographic experts, is "From Shallows to Seafloor" with marine biologist Diva Amon. This event is presented by BroadStage on Thursday, January 12, 2023 at 7:30pm at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center.

Marine biologist Diva Amon's research on unusual deep-sea habitats and species has taken her to extraordinary depths in some of the remotest parts of the planet. Dive in with her to get to know the fascinating creatures in each unique layer of Earth's massive underwater habitat-from the familiar sea creatures near the surface to their otherworldly, alien-like cousins that wander the ocean floor. She'll share stories from her work in the Caribbean, the Pacific, and beyond, along with images that shine a light on this vast-and vital-reservoir of biodiversity.
