Hi,
I hope you'll join us for the next Salish Sea Science Roundtable on July 8 from 12:30 - 1:30 pm PT. Please feel free to share the event and check out the details below.
July 8: Assessing Effects of Multiple Climate Change Stressors on Marine Invertebrates and Developing Mitigation Techniques to Minimize Impacts
Tuesday, July 8 from 12:30 - 1:30 pm PT on Zoomhttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/washington.zoom.us/meeting/register/ZH_Zjpa4Q1WX3wVre-surA*/registration__;Iw!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!iQvYNOEluh5Y0S85vI4Gb33vIl7z_kZmsCq2rbdp7DTW0KoL2vwdTW4awYGrA-Ej9UgT6hsCLEel2M-M9UbO8ko$
Co-hosted with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
Climate change is leading to increasingly warmer oceans that are also more acidic, less oxygenated, and with lower salinity (among other changes). The resultant impacts on marine organisms will depend on the rate, level, and variability of change of individual stressors and how effectively the animals can deal with these shifts. Moreover, multiple stressors are likely to interact and potentially change how organisms respond, in comparison to single stressors presented in isolation. Chris Pearce (DFO) will present recent research conducted in DFO's Pacific Region to examine multi-stressor impacts on a variety of marine invertebrates (Pacific oysters, pteropods, Pacific razor clams) of ecological, commercial, and indigenous importance in British Columbia and Washington State. He will also present work on various technologies they have been examining to help commercial shellfish growers mitigate these impacts.
This event is free, but registration is required.
