The Gulf of California is a place of incredible beauty and striking contrasts. It is where extreme biodiversity overlaps with rich cultural diversity, resulting in a place that is deeply important, both ecologically and to the people who have lived there for thousands of years.

In this Speaker Series talk by Kino Bay Center Director Lorayne Meltzer, learn about the Center's efforts to promote sustainable use and conservation of resources in the Midriff Island Region of the Gulf of California, as well as ongoing research and collaborations with local communities.

Stay tuned for your chance to visit Kino Bay with NHI in April 2023!


Doors open at 6:30pm.

*The event is free but space is limited and registration is required to attend. Masks are encouraged in the building. The talk will be live-streamed to our YouTube channel for those unable to attend in person.
