Please join us for the second talk in the FINS: Fisheries Insights Narratives and Stories seminar series featuring Adjunct Professor Dr. George Leonard. His talk, “Lessons learned from my time at the science-policy interface” will discuss his extensive experience at the ocean science-policy interface at major nonprofits (Monterey Bay Aquarium and Ocean Conservancy). He initiated, developed, and led a host of conservation programs during his time at Ocean Conservancy including offshore aquaculture, plastics pollution, ocean acidification, climate change, mesopelagic fisheries, and deep-sea mining. During his early career at Monterey Bay Aquarium, he developed the scientific foundation for the nascent sustainable seafood movement. Preceding the talk please join us for a networking coffee hour (snacks provided) and a student-only lunch after the talk.
