Carbon dioxide buildup from human activity dissolves into the oceans,
making them more acidic. This process of ocean acidification—the “evil
twin of global warming”—may harm corals, shellfish, and other
organisms at the base of marine food webs. How will this process alter
marine fisheries and aquaculture now and into the future?

The Bevan Series examines the biological and social ramifications of
our past, present, and future use of marine resources. Highly
acclaimed speakers from academic, agency, and nongovernmental
backgrounds tackle sustainability from disciplines as diverse as
ecology, fisheries management, conservation biology, law, economics,
and anthropology.

We invite you to join us for 10 informative lectures and take your
place at the leading edge of marine conservation. All lectures are
free and open to the public.
