October 3 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Marine Fish On the Move: Challenges and Prospects for Fisheries Adaptation
Ocean life is on the front lines of climate change, with many species living closer to their limits and shifting to new locations faster than species on land. Marine communities are also rapidly turning over to new species compositions.
This talk will examine how large-scale observations are transforming our understanding of climate impacts on ocean life and the unique conservation challenges these changes create. Most importantly, however, science is also revealing solutions to preserve marine biodiversity and seafood in the decades ahead.
