What's Happening in Waunakee, WI…

National Geographic Live will be presenting "The Untold Story of Sharks" in early March.

Jess Cramp, a marine conservationist and National Geographic explorer will be presenting a visually rich, in-depth program on the behavior, conservation challenges and misunderstood nature of sharks. The narrative will include archival footage of the work done in the 20th century overshadowed by the public fear associated with the film "Jaws".

Ms. Cramp will be discussing her work in the Pacific specifically in the Cook Islands. This will include night dives, tagging expeditions and encounters in under water high-definition cinematography. She will be highlighting her work in creating a large-scale sanctuary and marine protection.

This show will be particularly visually oriented and will include National Geographic film, underwater and drone footage, animated data visualizations and maps showing tagging, migration and navigation, and macro-level shark behavior such as navigation, schooling and feeding sequences.

The mission of the performance will be for awareness to o threatened shark populations, policy gaps and habitat loss.

The evening has been crafted for non-scientists with thrills such as close encounters with reef sharks, hammerheads and great whites, humor in field-science storytelling, and inspiration especially centering on women in science.

Ms. Cramp will hold a brief post-show question and answer period following the presentation.

Live events like these are often promoted using methods that work well in the local area within a cost effective budget, such as poster printing.

National Geographic Live with Dr. Jess Cramp will take place at the Capitol Theater, Madison, 201 State Street, March 3rd beginning at 7:30 pm.
