Science and seafood: understanding and protecting a precious natural resource If you love seafood, you’re not alone — but every bite comes from a complex and fragile marine ecosystem. To keep our ocean ecosystems thriving and our seafood resources abundant, we need a deeper scientific understanding of how they function. Join Scripps Oceanography Assistant Professor Dr. Colleen Petrik for a fascinating talk on how cutting-edge ecosystem modeling is helping us understand and protect the marine life we depend on. By blending biology, physics, and mathematics, Dr. Petrik creates “mini ecosystems” on a computer that show how ocean life responds to environmental changes — many of which are driven by human activity. Discover how this innovative approach guides smarter fisheries management and ocean conservation decisions, supporting sustainable seafood for the future. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Visit: https://aquarium.ucsd.edu/events/perspectives-lecture-series-november Scripps Instn. of Oceanography on Instagram and Facebook
