His presentation will offer live time observations into the nature of these animals\, with a plethora of locally filmed material! He will also speak on how his observations are becoming a part of a greater picture in data collection on various shark species\, underscoring the benefit of citizen science. In addition to the science\, Gauna will give a ‘behind the scenes’ description of the filming and editing process in his artwork\, along with examples of the various types of equipment he uses. \n \n \n \n \n \n Wednesday\, November 1 \n6:00pm – 8:30pm \nDoors open at 5:30pm \nGeneral – $10 \nMembers – FREE \nStudents (with valid ID) – FREE \n \n Tickets\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  About Carlos \nCarlos Gauna\, locally known as The Malibu Artist\, is a photographer\, observer\, and ocean advocate. After COVID limited job opportunities as a wedding photographer\, Gauna began aerial filming the famed Malibu coastline. His work now involves filming the little-known lives of Californias’ great white sharks by drone. Through countless hours of filming\, his art has bridged into the realm of science\, a testament to the growing importance of citizen science. Thanks to the videos captured by Gauna\, Calfiornias’ white sharks are getting the recognition deserved as ecologically important and misunderstood animals. He has submitted much of his observations and footage to scientists all over\, helping them accumulate the data to understand and protect these species. In addition to sharks\, Gauna has documented the behavior of marine mammals\, sea birds\, and rare open ocean fish. His work is generously available to all on YouTube (@TheMalibuArtist)\, with thousands of hours of film and observation.

These ships were known for their speed and were used for smuggling. The ship is 118 feet long with a rig height of 100 feet… and 5\,000 square feet of sail! \nIt was Dennis Holland’s dream to build an accurate replica from the period when America fought for independence. Armed with talent\, determination\, little money and plans he purchased from the Smithsonian Institution\, he laid the keel in his Orange County yard on May 2\, 1970. Thirteen years later\, this fast privateer was launched and continues to sail the ocean. Everywhere you look on board is the craftsmanship and pride of early America. \nFormerly the Pilgrim of Newport\, the re-named Spirit of Dana Point is an excellent teaching platform where students directly experience life at sea as it has been for hundreds of years.  The 118-ft. schooner is used for living history and at-sea maritime programs throughout the year. \nThe Spirit of Dana Point is also available for public and private charters\, coastal sails\, corporate team building\, and filming opportunities. \nFor private charters\, events or wedding onboard the Spirit of Dana Point please e-mail: events@oceaninstitute.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.
