Joel Sartore to Headline Alaska Marine Gala

The Alaska SeaLife Center will welcome world famous wildlife photographer and conservation spokesperson, Joel Sartore to the 2nd Annual Alaska Marine Gala on January 16th at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage. Joel Sartore, a life-long Nebraskan, has traveled the globe to capture on film everything from endangered species to the wonders of nature around the world. He has been published in National Geographic, Time, Life, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated and many others. His presentation will include wonderful stories, amazing images and is sure to inspire and entertain. For more on his amazing work go to http://www.joelsartore.com/.

We are delighted to be able to bring Joel to Anchorage. I have been privileged to previously hear his amazing stories of how he captured some of the greatest photos ever taken. I know Alaskans, and especially those of us who enjoy nature photography, will enjoy his presentation... 

...and the gala program we have prepared this year is sensational! 

The evening will include a festive and interactive reception, a gourmet dinner and then transition to the program for the evening. The Gala also hosts the Alaska Ocean Leadership Awards recognizing the leaders in Alaska marine research, ocean education, environmental media, corporate stewardship, and lifetime achievement for their contributions to the future of Alaska’s oceans. The silent and live auctions will provide guests access to exciting and unique action packages. Finally, guests will be treated to the music of H3, a popular band here in Anchorage. Additional information and a complete sponsor list can be found at www.alaskasealife.org/alaskamarinegala/.
