For over two decades, the Perspectives Lecture Series has been engaging the public on research conducted worldwide by scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The fall 2025 series highlights Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine research and its contributions to society — from the development of new, economically-grounded strategies for sustaining critical ecosystems and fisheries to innovative research at the intersection of oceanography and human health. Hear directly from Scripps Oceanography scientists on how they envision the future of research to understand and protect our ocean planet for the benefit of all. The series kicks off with Marine Prosperity Areas: A New Hope in Conservation, featuring Scripps Oceanography Professor and Marine Ecologist Octavio Aburto. Marine Protected Areas have long been the most effective tools for marine ecosystem restoration, but these efforts often require sacrifices today for benefits decades in the future. Learn how Aburto’s research has influenced the evolution of a more holistic approach to marine conservation focused on Marine Prosperity Areas.
