Ever wonder what fish are really doing in the water?
John Hoover, author of several best-selling field guides to Hawaiian marine fish and invertebrates, will give a special presentation titled “Hawaii’s Reef Fishes” from 7-9 p.m. April 27 at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus.
Hawaii’s reef fish don’t just hang around the reef waiting for something to happen, Hoover said. Like most other animals — and humans — they are busy most of the time taking care of the big three: food, security and reproduction. Each would make a fascinating topic in its own right, but perhaps the most fun to explore is reproduction. Fish engage in a wonderful and surprising variety of strategies and behaviors to ensure their continued survival. Hoover will explain how they do it and show some of his many underwater photos taken during 30 years of diving, snorkeling and exploring Hawaii’s coral reefs.
The presentation is part of a monthly Thursday night series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture and the environment. The series is intended to inspire, enhance appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections.
The Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus is located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village. This presentation is free, however donations are always welcome.
