Ten Amazing Years of Ocean Exploration: The Census of Marine Life May 23, 2011

Dr. Paul Snelgrove, Memorial University, Newfoundland
Over the 10-year course of the recently completed Census of Marine Life, researchers in more than 80 nations collaborated to improve our understanding of marine biodiversity past, present and future. This talk will explain the rationale behind the Census and highlight some of its most important and dramatic findings.
The Aquarium has been providing free lectures and films by scientists, environmental writers, photographers and others since 1972. The Aquarium Lecture Series is presented free to the public through the generosity of the Lowell Institute, which has been providing funding for free public lectures at universities and museums since 1836.
Lectures are free and open to the public. Registration is requested. All programs start at 7 p.m. in the Aquarium's Harborside Learning Lab. Programs last approximately one hour followed by a reception.
