Near surface ‘hot spots’ have been recorded during both the day and night using the latest digital cameras, LED lights and shallow water dive gear. Aggregations of open ocean animals typically associate with flotsam and floating objects. Apex predators and their principle prey are strongly influenced by prevailing currents, the underlying topography and the oxygen minimal layer. Vertical migrators that follow specific light levels typically appear close to the sea surface at night, and they also are found to aggregate within these same biological ‘hot spots’.2:15-3:00 – Sumesh LekhiProducer, Writer and Director Mumbai, Indiahttp://www.braveagefilms.com/Presentation: Asian Elephant Conservation and the Biodiversity of the North Eastern Jungles of India.3:15-4:00 – Samir Jung ThapaDirector & Producer Clikman Productions & World Wildlife Fund, Nepal Kathmandu, Nepal Presentation: Filming Snow Leopards in the Himalaya of Nepal4:15-5:00 – TBA
