In the Same Net: Biodiversity, Ethics and the Human Spirit
 (book signing) April 11, 2011

Carl Safina, Ph.D., President, Blue Ocean Institute, Stony Brook University

Fisheries, coral reefs, forests, climate change, poverty and peace are all facets of the same issue.

In a talk that is part autobiography, part science lecture and part book-reading, scientist and author Carl Safina tells the story of his global journey from fisherman to scientist to the realization that the changing ocean reflects the challenges facing not just sea life but all of humankind.

Dr. Safina will also discuss how scientific findings have ethical implications, how religion and science are converging toward common cause on environmental matters and how moral responses can add momentum toward solutions that are becoming increasingly crucial.

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. Programs last approximately one hour followed by a reception.
