EnC/HBAC Lecture Series
Explore North Coast and the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center as co-sponsors invites the public to their Lecture Series featuring Dr. Brian Tissot, Director of HSU’s Marine Laboratory. He will present the results of five years of underwater surveys of the North Coast that examine kelp forest ecosystems and the effects of sea urchins on the community, including abalone and fishes. Sea urchin barrens are a global phenomenon often linked to marine heat waves. Through an examination of long-term ecosystem and oceanographic data, Tissot will evaluate north coast kelp forest health and future prospects. Dr. Brian Tissot is a marine ecologist with experience conducting research in intertidal zone, kelp forest, coral reef, and deep-sea ecosystems. He is focused on scientific research that improves the understanding and management of marine ecosystems. In collaboration with local communities, State, and Federal agencies, and a variety of other organizations, he develops and implements innovative solutions to marine resource issues. The lecture is scheduled for Monday, September 9th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center, 921, Waterfront Drive, Eureka. Admission is free.
