World Ocean Day Live Webcast

Website:http://www.astc.org/iglo

On June 8, IGLO, in collaboration with the World Ocean Network (WON), will be celebrating World Oceans Day (WOD) with a live webcast featuring NOAA’s Dr. Richard Feely speaking on “The Other Carbon Dioxide Problem: Ocean Acidification.” 

Every year, World Ocean Day brings together more than 250 organizations spanning five continents and reaching more than 150 million visitors in museums and science centers, aquariums, educational charities, institutions and NGOs. Designated by the United Nations and supported by the World Ocean Network and The Ocean Project, World Oceans Day is a celebration designed to raise awareness about the importance of the ocean and the impact of our daily actions on the marine environment. This year’s theme is “One Ocean, One Climate, One Future.” 

Dr. Feely’s presentation on ocean acidification will address one of the most crucial issues linking oceans and climate. A live stream of his webcast will be available on IGLO’s website (www.astc.org/iglo) on Monday, June 8 at 2:30 PM EDT. You may project this talk at your institution as part of a WOD celebration and allow the audience to ask questions through a chat box online. 

Contact Walter Staveloz, wstaveloz@astc.org, for details. Visit www.worldoceannetwork.org for WOD tools.
