SUMMARY:OEB Seminar Series: Randi Rotjan
DESCRIPTION:<p><a href="https://as.tufts.edu/biology/people/faculty/randi-rotjan">Randi Rotjan</a>&nbsp;<br>Associate Professor of Biology&nbsp;<br>Tufts University</p><p><em><span>Protecting Global Oceans in the Anthropocene</span></em></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp;The oceans are 71% of our planet, and yet are still largely unexplored, especially in the deep and open oceans. New species are discovered on almost every deep-sea dive, and even with increased exploration efforts, we are still discovering massive underwater mountains, canyons, and other features. Yet, even with so much unknown, decisions cannot wait for discovery. In an era of global change, biological communities in even the most remote parts of our planet are feeling the impact of human societies and are vulnerable to depletion or extinction. To combat this, global targets for protection have set a goal of protecting 30% of oceans by 2030. This seminar will unpack the science behind large scale marine conservation, and discuss how to explore the unexplored, and how to protect the unprotected.</p>
