Expedition Reef Planetarium Show Poster with a turtle swimming in the ocean. Learn the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” as you embark on an oceanic safari of the world’s most vibrant and endangered marine ecosystems.

Narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga, the all-digital Expedition Reef immerses you in the undersea adventure. Along the way, discover how corals grow, feed, reproduce and support over 25% of all marine life on Earth while facing unprecedented threats from climate change, habitat destruction and overfishing.

“This is a difficult story [and] a turning point for reefs,” says Academy scientist and reef expert Dr. Rebecca Albright, “But it’s not too late.”
