Speaking on the crisis in the oceans and Gulf of Maine, Wells, June 16

I'll be speaking about the crisis in the world's oceans and in the Gulf of Maine at the Wells National Esutuarine Research Reserve in Wells, Maine this coming Thursday, June 16.

The event, which kicks off at 6pm, is entitled "Ocean's End: the Crisis in the World's Oceans from Antarctica tothe Gulf of Maine" and keys off my global reporting on the oceans crisis, my first book, Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas, and the recent Press Herald series "Mayday," which was a finalist for this year's Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting. The talk is part of the reserve's Ted Oxford Climate Stewards Lecture series.

The good news is the event is free and open to the public, with a suggested $5 donation.
