Educated, caring stewards of the ocean are more important
than ever but it is a very small percentage of people who
would ever have an opportunity to see the underwater world
in person. Public aquariums offer a glimpse and help to
create advocates for ocean conservation. Bruce Carlson,
Chief Science officer at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta,
also serves as chief underwater videographer for the
Aquarium. His contribution of scenes from the Georgia
Aquarium give us a rare glimpse of both the interesting
inhabitants of the tanks and behind-the-scenes activities
such as the work involved to build a new reef exhibit.
