Taking the Pulse of the Ocean with MarineGEO—Global Issues and Local Lessons

The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) presents a webinar  that will address: Are fish in the Chesapeake as hungry as fish in Chile? Are marine communities in Alaska more resistant to invasive species than those in Panama or Chile? And can saving marine biodiversity help protect the ocean from climate change?

Eleven years ago, Smithsonian scientists launched the Marine Global Earth Observatory (MarineGEO): a global network of partners dedicated to studying what makes marine ecosystems tick—and how they will respond to a changing climate. Take a tour of the world’s coastal waters with Martin Thiel, managing director of the MarineGEO network. He will reveal what MarineGEO has learned about what it takes to keep marine ecosystems working, and where we can best place our hope for the future of the ocean.
