The ocean is essential to all life but experts agree that there are

join us for an evening of deep thinking with *Dr. Jeremy Jackson* from  
Scripps Institution of Oceanography as he discusses ocean biodiversity  
loss in his talk “Brave New Ocean”

Ocean Discussions* in which top ocean scientists talk about current  
research and how it is helping to change the tide in ocean science and  
conservation.
