Thursday Night at the Center: with Marc Hughes
Join Marc Hughes on Thursday, April 11, at 6pm, at Volcano Art Center Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. This video presentation provides a visual display of many associations that can be seen in scuba diving and snorkeling depths in the oceans around the Big Island.
The videos and accompanying explanations of the intricate nature of these interactions show just how complex the marine environment is and how important it is to preserve the coastal areas. Questions and discussions are welcome, and the goal of the presentation is to highlight the importance of individual species of animals as they relate to the overall health of the marine environment.
Marc Hughes is a dive guide and marine life educator in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. He graduated with a degree in Marine Science and Conservation Biology from the University of Hawaii in Hilo and participated in research cruises in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands as well as a cephalopods research cruise in the Main Hawaiian Islands. All the videos in the presentation have been taken by him and are part of his program for teaching the public and students through visual examples with a storytelling point of view.
Thursday night at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture, and our environment. The series is intended to inspire, and enhance your appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections. This presentation is free, although a donation is greatly appreciated.
