Southern California is inextricably linked to the ocean. We depend on our coastal ecosystems for food, commerce, and recreation, and we celebrate our stunning vistas, but at the same time our actions on land and sea have compromised the health and wellbeing of our foremost asset. What steps have we taken to protect our seas, and have we been successful? What are the challenges and opportunities for protecting our coastal ocean in the future? Join Dr. Roberta Marinelli, Director of USC's Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, to learn about the role science can play in conserving our resources and adapting to the challenges that humans present.
