In this video, my colleague Tina Mozelewski, PhD does a stellar job explaining the core findings from our recent publication exploring how we can work smarter to conserve the sagebrush biome here in the United States. I highly recommend watching!

TODAY at 11:45 am ET – Join Dr. Gretchen Lescord, University of Florida for: Citizen and community science in water research and management. Volunteerism in water research is increasing, largely due to the many benefits of public engagement in the scientific process. This talk will discuss bolstering the role of public participation in limnology and the management of aquatic ecosystems. It will specifically differentiate and highlight examples of both citizen and community science, focusing primarily on freshwater ecosystems and their fish. These examples will include several projects partnered with Indigenous Communities to understand the chemistry of waterbodies within their traditional territories and pollutant levels of subsistence-harvested fish. Additionally, the history and progression of the Florida LAKEWATCH program, one of the largest citizen science efforts in the country, will be discussed; volunteer engagement and training, sample collection, data collation and dissemination, and research will be detailed.

50 years after the first Earth Day, we still have a lot of work to do. But people are becoming aware of the need for environmental and geographic education, and clean-up efforts are being undertaken. In this video I discuss those topics.

At the Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory, we recognize the deep abuses committed as a result of systemic racism, white privilege, and environmental injustice. We believe in taking concrete steps towards a more equitable and inclusive approach to address the problems facing our oceans and communities. Over the last few years, we have thoughtfully mapped out our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) in our field of marine science. We proactively strive to bring the voices, intellect, and talents of people of all colors, backgrounds, and identities into our work to further science and conservation. Therefore, we commit to taking tangible actions to achieve our vision of a more diverse and inclusive organization. Our DEIJ action plan details these commitments and the steps we must take to achieve them. As an organization and as individuals, it is our responsibility to continually grow our understanding and efforts to help create a more just and equitable future. We are sharing our DEIJ action plan with you, our colleagues, partners, and friends, to hold ourselves accountable to this mission and to make it available as a resource for others striving towards a shared vision. The planet’s health relies on all of us working together for the benefit of all. ???? Check out the seven goals of our action plan below?? Learn more about our commitments to DEIJ and view our action plan here: https://lnkd.in/g_GmcZdj We acknowledge that the University of California was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose lands our offices at UC Santa Barbara are located, the villages and unceded lands of the Chumash people. We affirm the critical role of Indigenous peoples in our collective efforts to restore the health of the ocean and commit to elevating their voices and leadership in marine science and conservation.
