NOTE VENUE CHANGE
Please join us for New Bedford Science Café! Tues., 6/14, from 6 to 8 p.m., Cisco Brewers Kitchen & Bar, 1482 E. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford.
Open to everyone. Free, save for the beer! No registration necessary.
Our guest, Nicholas Sullivan, a Senior Fellow at The Fletcher School at Tufts, will talk about his new book The Blue Revolution: Hunting, Harvesting, and Farming Seafood in the Information Age.
While it’s true that about a third of the world’s fish stocks are overfished, changes in behavior, technology and policy throughout the fishing industry, honed by better data & science, are bringing about a less destructive, more transparent era. Catch limits, monitoring of fish and ocean, the “local catch” movement, the growth of aquaculture & mariculture, are just some of the reasons “global fisheries aren’t quite done yet,” notes Niko. “New England waters, for instance, have more groundfish today than 25 years ago.”
Videos of recent events—Dr. Ann Partridge on new treatments for breast cancer & Kyla Bennett on the dangers of aerial spraying—are found on our website.
We ask that those who join us be vaccinated. Facemasks are strongly recommended.
