About the event
In this talk Aliah takes you behind the scenes of All the Sharks—what it was really like filming with tiger sharks, scuba diving on camera, and racing around the world to find elusive elasmobranchs. But the spotlight doesn’t stop there. Aliah dives deeper into the world of rays—the flat sharks you don’t hear enough about. From giant oceanic mantas to walking epaulettes, she unpacks their evolutionary link to sharks, the threats they're quietly facing, and the surprising superpowers that make rays some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures.
