$Nature Talks: The Ocean\u2019s Future Is Our Future$

Renowned marine biologist, policy expert and writer Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is joining The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at UConn’s Avery Point in Groton. We hope to see you at the presentation and discussion to define the future of oceans and people.
A policy expert, writer, and co-founder of the non-profit think tank Urban Ocean Lab, Dr. Johnson is focused on solutions to the climate crisis. Her latest book, “What If We Get it Right?: Visions of Climate Futures,” will be released in September.
Along the beautiful and poignant backdrop of the Connecticut coastline, Dr. Johnson will explore our relationship with the ocean in conversation with TNC’s Sally McGee, director of climate and strategic initiatives for TNC’s Global Aquaculture Program. People have an enormous impact on water. But oceans are affecting people too, often much more than we realize. Let’s define the future for oceans and people. Join Dr. Johnson and TNC for this important moment in nature’s story.
