Ned and Anna, along with partner Paul Humann, have published nine identification guides for reef fishes and invertebrates around the world. Their talk will feature stories and images of many of the their favorite discoveries from the rich waters of Indonesia and New Guinea, where they have been working on their latest book, a marine invertebrate guide to tropical Pacific.
