Ocean - Bringing Marine Dreams To Life with Steve Backshall
Event Description

Steve Backshall’s Ocean is a love letter to the most exciting environment on our planet – and a great way to learn more about what we need to do to save our seas.

Cutting edge science and big screen footage from his two decades in TV will all help Steve to bring the icons of the Big Blue to life.

From Great whites to Great whales, seals to sardine shoals, Orca to the oddities of the deep: this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to dive deep into the wonderful world beneath the waves.

A must-see for all the family!

About

Steve Backshall studied English at university before going on to study biology, eventually becoming Adventurer in Residence for National Geographic. He travels the world as presenter of BBC TV's 'Deadly' series, for which he has won two BAFTAs. He presented BBC One's Big Blue Live alongside Matt Baker and Liz Bonnin in 2015, which went on to win the BAFTA Television Award for Best Live Event. His other documentary series include Steve Backshall's Extreme Mountain Challenge, Down the Might River, and Steve Backshall and the Vertical Mile.

We will have stands from Ulster Wildlife and Queens University Marine Laboratory in attendance at the event. There will be a short compilation of high resolution underwater video clips captured by divers screened before the talk from the Marine Lab. The films will showcase some of our most colourful and charismatic species as well as introducing you to the spectacular diversity of marine life we have around our coasts.
