Big Blue Live is a live television
and online event celebrating some of the world's most amazing marine
creatures converging off California's coast. Set in Monterey Bay
National Marine Sanctuary, the bay has experienced an environmental
rebirth. This wildlife success story attracts humpback whales, blue
whales, sea lions, dolphins, elephant seals, sea otters, great white
sharks, shearwaters, and much more for a once-a-year marine animal
phenomenon.
A presentation of PBS and the BBC, Big Blue Live will bring
together scientists, filmmakers and photographers, animal behaviorists,
and other experts over the course of three spectacular nights. The
program will be anchored live from a hub at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
and from a national marine sanctuary research vessel. Viewers can
watch one of nature's great "reality shows" delivered through state-of-the-art
filming technologies and live reports from air, sea, and below the
waves.
Big Blue Live airs live on television and online over three nights,
August 31-September 2, at 8-9pm ET, with another live feed to the
West Coast at 8-9pm PT.
Monterey Bay Whale Watch had the privilege of taking film crews
out on the water in preparation for the live show. We are very excited
for the live show to air and are taking an active role, coordinating
with film crews during the show. Be sure to tune in to Big Blue
Live to see the amazing sea life out here in Monterey Bay!
Big Blue Live is also airing on the BBC starting on August
23. Learn more about Big
