Herb Segars, Underwater Photographer



Herb Segars has been diving and photographing marine life in New Jersey waters for the past thirty years. On Saturday he presented the summation of his life's work in a fascinating and educational presentation entitled “Beneath the Garden State” to a crowded room at the LBI Foundation of Arts and Science in Loveladies and also at the New Jersey Maritime Museum in Beach Haven. The photographs depict rarely seen images, up close and personal, of the varied and beautiful marine life found near coastal shipwrecks and reefs. He has just finished a beautiful book of his photograph called “Beneath the Garden State: Exploring Aquatic New Jersey” that will be available in bookstores next month.


The film “Ocean Frontiers: The Dawn of a New Era in Ocean Stewardship” will make its premier screening in New Jersey on Thursday April 5th at Wilson Hall Auditorium, Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute at 6:30 PM. The film is a documentay and outreach campaign to inspire and mobilize audiences to better care for the ocean for the good of all. It outlines a new way of cooperation to sustain the sea and our coastal and ocean economies. A panel discussion of distinquished advocates will follow the screening.
