Explore beneath the ocean depths with marine scientist, Dr. David Pawson, who will shed light on the unique characteristics of prickly sea dwellers such as
sea urchins and sand dollars. Known as echinoderms, over 7,000 species of these animals are found at all depths of the ocean– from the wave-splashed rocky shores to the muddy bottoms of the deepest trenches. Learn more about the distinctive traits of these beautiful and often bizarre animals.
