Join us for a dynamic conversation about seafood and the environment between Dr. Ben Halpern, Director of UC Santa Barbara’s Natural Center for Ecological Analysis and Dr. Kim Selkoe, Co-Founder of Get Hooked
As we grapple with the challenge of how to eat healthy, support our local economy, and protect the planet, choices about what food to eat can be difficult. In celebration of its 25th Anniversary, the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) presents to you an engaging conversation between two leading marine ecologists that specialize in fisheries and ocean health. Kim Selkoe, Executive Director of the Commercial Fisherman of Santa Barbara and Co-Founder of community-based seafood provider Get Hooked, will share her knowledge on local fisheries. Ben Halpern, Director of NCEAS, will offer a global perspective on sustainable food systems and ocean health. This husband and wife team will help equip you with the information needed to make better choices about the food you eat.
