\n\t\tEvent for teachers, scientists, public celebrates NOAA\u2019s 200 Years of Science<\/p>\n


\nNARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 October 10, 2007 — The Office of Marine Programs at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will celebrate NOAA\u2019s \u201c200 Years of Science\u201d with a day-long workshop on large marine ecosystems. The event for teachers, scientists and the public will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Coastal Institute on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Narragansett Bay Campus.<\/p>\n


\nLarge marine ecosystems are areas of the ocean characterized by distinct bathymetry, hydrography, productivity, and trophic interactions. Responsible for producing 95 percent of the world\u2019s fish catch, these ecosystems are the focus of global efforts to reduce the degradation of linked watersheds, marine resources and coastal environments from pollution, habitat loss, and over-fishing.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe programs will provide attendees with insight into the plight of large marine ecosystems, both locally and around the world,\u201d said Andrea Kecskes, workshop coordinator. \u201cTeachers will come away from the activity sessions with hands-on classroom materials, a broader understanding of these ecosystems, and NOAA\u2019s role in investigating and protecting the waters of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nKeynote speaker, Kenneth Sherman, director of the Narragansett Laboratory and Office of Marine Ecosystem Studies at NOAA\/Fisheries, will begin the day with a presentation on “Celebrating 200 Years of NOAA.” <\/p>\n


\nSherman is well known for his comparative research on the impacts of natural and human interventions on ecosystem productivity and biomass yields in large marine ecosystems. He is the senior editor or co-editor of 13 volumes and the author of 42 published reports and articles on large marine ecosystem research from 1986 to 2003. Sherman also serves as chair of the Arctic Council’s Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment and U.S. project officer in joint U.S.-Polish studies on marine productivity. <\/p>\n


\nSeveral other noted scientists will speak throughout the day, including Nancy Thompson, newly appointed director of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center of NOAA\/Fisheries, who will discuss the interactions between NOAA as a stewardship agency and the short-term outlook of some of the fisheries stakeholders.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe registration fee for the workshop is $35 per person, $20 for all 溏心vlog免费B站 and high school students, and the fee includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and take-home materials.<\/p>\n
