Jennifer's 40 minute presentation contains a message about the importance of our oceans’ health to all Canadians, and why we need to protect coral and the deep sea ecosystem. The presentation will be followed by a 20 minute question and answer period.
Living Oceans Society is looking for groups to help host Jennifer’s speaking engagements. The presentation is ideal for:
- community events
- service clubs
- universities
- recreation groups
- conservation groups
If you live in a major Canadian city and would like to host an event, please call Dorie Pesicka (250) 973-6580 or dpesicka@livingoceans.org
We will provide posters, media support and web announcements to advertise the event, as well as a projector, computer and information brochures for the presentation.
Living Oceans Society would like to thank Mountain Equipment Co-op for their support of Jennifer's speaking tour.
About the Finding Coral Expedition
On June 8th, 2009 Jennifer Lash, Executive Director of the Living Oceans Society, led the Finding Coral Expedition on a journey to the bottom of the sea on Canada’s Pacific coast in search of deep sea corals. Piloting a one person submarine, Jennifer dived to depths of over 500 meters and saw giant coral forests, darting schools of fish, and the seafloor carpeted in brittle seastars.
