Hey all!
There are some things happening at the Seattle Aquarium that I am going to, and I just wanted to share in case others were interested. :)
Sound Conversations with Jeff Renner
Join us at the Aquarium this spring for three evenings featuring insights into the health of the world’s ocean and marine life. Take part in the dialogue as local and international experts converse with KING 5 Chief Meteorologist Jeff Renner about the challenges faced by marine creatures and opportunities to heal and conserve Puget Sound now and for generations to come. A reception with light refreshments will precede the program. All events take place at 7pm. Tickets are $10 per person, per evening.

Dr. Ginger Armbrust
Director School of Oceanography, University of Washington/ Principal Investigator of the Armbrust Lab
Marine Plankton: Tiny Creatures with a Powerful Impact
Dr. Armbrust’s research focuses on phytoplankton, organisms that are responsible for about 50% of the total amount of photosynthesis that occurs on our planet. Join us to learn about the critical role these organisms play in our global carbon cycle, and ultimately, in our global climate.

Ken Balcomb
Executive Director of Center for Whale Research/ Principal Investigator for Orca Survey
World-Renowned Urban Orca Expert
A leading expert on Salish Sea orcas and pioneer in photo-identification techniques, Ken has been documenting the population and behavior of our region’s orcas since 1976. He’s often recognized as the scientist who discovered that Navy sonar might be responsible for beaching whales, and played a vital role in increasing government awareness of orcas’ declining numbers.
(I know that this thread could go into current news or marine biology and conservation, but since its just small events I figured I would post it here, hope thats ok.)
