Get Inspired With Gray's Reef
The Gray's Reef Ocean Film Festival is making its return to the Lucas Theatre for the Arts this weekend, Friday, January 16 and Saturday, January 17! Managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and governed by the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary is Georgia's own special underwater park.
A 22-square nautical mile sanctuary, Gray's Reef is a unique habitat teeming with marine life, from colorful corals and sponges to sea turtles, whales and diverse fish species. Named for Sam Gray, a Georgia biologist fascinated by the labyrinth of living creatures, this reef off the Coast of Georgia is one of the largest near-shore live-bottom reefs in the Southeastern United States. Dive deep under the sea with documentaries like James Cameron's Deep Sea Challenge and be inspired by the colorful world at the bottom of the ocean.
Tickets can be purchased here and have options from single screenings to a full weekend pass for all films and parties!
