Jason said the “project means more to me than a week of talking about sharks,” as he will delve into his personal “connection to these amazing creatures.”
He added, “My love for sharks started way before my time as an Aquaman – it started several generations before me.”
Jason will preside over the showcase’s 35th year and will feature prominently in the segments, which will feature previously unexplored water locations.
