Shipwrecks: Models for Understanding a Changing Ocean

There are 3 million shipwrecks worldwide, which serve as habitats for marine animals. In this presentation, Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser will show how her research on shipwreck communities helps us understand human impacts on the environment and plan for a more sustainable ocean. Free and open to the public. No registration required.
