Guest speaker Dr. Karen Martin will showcase the new film: Surf, Sand, and Silversides: the California Grunion
The film documentary shows the elusive but spectacular natural phenomenon of midnight spawning runs, and the challenges facing this charismatic surfing fish and its nests on urban beaches of California. In a world where fish come out of the water, one species stands between life and death. One species, one spawning habitat, one moonlit night, this is the story of how far these fish will go for love. Leaving the see in droves, they risk all in search of passion.
The film won 1st place Documentary Short at the Los Angeles City Cinema Fest. For additional information on beach spawning grunion please visit. http://grunion.pepperdine.edu.
