Emera Astronomy Center Outing Expedition Reef

Explore the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” and embark on an oceanic safari to the world’s most vibrant and endangered

marine ecosystems – coral reefs. Discover how corals grow, feed, reproduce, and sup-port over 25% of all marine life on Earth — while facing unprecedented threats from climate change, habitat destruction, and overfishing. Although they line about a

third of tropical coastlines, reefs comprise less than one percent of the world’s ocean environments, showing how precious and fragile these systems are. Thousands of tropical fish and colorful corals thrive in

one of the largest and deepest indoor dis-plays of living corals. Narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga, Expedition

Reef will immerse audiences in an under-sea adventure. This fulldome planetarium

show provides an up-close look at a part of our planet many people have never experi-

enced. Cost is $5
