ONE WORLD, ONE OCEAN
Working Together to Protect Our Global Ocean Ecosystem
Join as as we celebrate 2010, The Year of the Ocean and learn what's being done to preserve a very important resource, the world ocean.
Our guest speaker is Randy Runnels, Ph.D., Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserves manager, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and an adjunct faculty member at Eckerd College.
Dr. Runnels will discuss how ocean environmental issues span a global scale.
