Join us to learn about the Coral Triangle, aka the “Amazon of the ocean.” Known for its mesmerizing biodiversity and natural beauty, this incredible region inspired the Aquarium’s new Ocean Pavilion expansion—opening this summer! During this Lightning Talk, four speakers will have five minutes each to dazzle the audience with the wonder of the Coral Triangle. And stay tuned for an amazing post-talk discussion answering audience questions.
