LiveStreaming Expedition: Underwater with Great White Sharks in Mexico

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - Oct. 10, 2017 - PRLog -- (Orange County, California) A team of Laguna Beach and Irvine based broadcasters from The Ocean Lab head off this week to Isla Guadalupe, Mexico with research scientists Dr. Taylor Chapple of Stanford and Dr. Mauricio Hoyos Padilla of Pelagios Kakunja to broadcast live science from shark cages.  Isla Guadalupe is a remote island, 150 miles off the Baja, Mexico coast and is world famous as a gathering site for great white sharks.  On October 16^th, Hoyos and Chapple will be transmitting 3 live broadcasts from shark cages – 30 feet underwater – up to a satellite and into classrooms all over the world.  Students will be able to interact – in real time – with these scientists as they conduct research and discuss the behaviors of these top predators. The goal of this expedition is to connect students with top scientists doing cutting edge research, and to inspire the current and future generations to become leaders in ocean stewardship. "This is an outstanding opportunity for kids with limited access to the ocean to get up close and personal with the biggest predatory sharks alive," says Dan Stetson, Co-Founder of the project. The program is free and open to anyone interested in participating.

There will be three broadcasts on October 16th, 2017
