Beyond the Obituaries: Success Stories in Ocean Conservation

Thursday, January 26, 6:30-8 p.m.

There are reasons to be hopeful when it comes to the future of the ocean, despite the prevailing mantra of doom and gloom.

Get inspired by special guest Dr. Nancy Knowlton, founding director of the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the current Sant Chair of Marine Science at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Knowlton is a winner of the Peter Benchley Award and the Heinz Award for her work in marine science and conservation. Her recent book, Citizens of the Sea, celebrates the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long effort to catalog and estimate the total diversity of life in the vast global ocean. A booksigning will follow her talk. The book is currently on sale in the aquarium Gift Shop.

Cost: Free
