Marine Prosperity Areas Represent a New Hope in Conservation
We're excited for our upcoming Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture — Marine Prosperity Areas Represent a New Hope in Conservation — with Octavio Aburto, Marine Ecologist and Scripps Oceanography Professor
Marine Protected Areas have long been the most effective tools for marine ecosystem restoration, but these efforts often require sacrifices today for benefits decades in the future. Join Scripps Oceanography Professor Octavio Aburto to hear how his research has influenced the evolution of a more holistic approach to marine conservation focused on Marine Prosperity Areas. Aburto and a multinational team of marine scientists and economists have developed a comprehensive new framework for marine management that combines ecosystem conservation, economic growth, environmental responsibility and social policy — ultimately benefiting both people and the planet!
