The Living Oceans Foundation is pleased to present two live presentations from the Galápagos as part of World Oceans Day, June 8, 2012!

On the June 8, 2012 at 3:30PM EST, join the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the Ocean Project, featuring “Her Deepness” Sylvia Earle, on a live call to the research vessel Golden Shadow in the Galápagos during our next Global Reef Expedition mission. This transcontinental conversation on coral reef research will include photos, videos and coral reef news direct from the sub-aquatic research site near Darwin Island. Dr. Earle and the science team will discuss current studies on rare coral reefs at the north of the Galápagos archipelago; how the Galápagos species respond to El Niño-driven temperature fluctuations; and why that may give us hope for corals’ ability to be resilient to future climate change.
