OceanEcho 30x30: Catch the Wave to Protect the Ocean
EarthEcho International was founded on the belief that young people have the power to change the world. You’re invited to join a conversation with EarthEcho Youth Leadership Council members as they demonstrate how they are taking action to protect the ocean. In 2020, EarthEcho launched #OceanEcho30x30, a campaign to ignite activism in ocean conservation. During this session, participants will learn why it is important to protect the ocean, how we are all connected, what they can do in their own communities, and gain access to resources that will help them to lead their own conservation efforts.
Stages of STEM: Generations of Innovation
Join EarthEcho International for a conversation with women from all stages in their STEM careers. Experts will share their career pathways, challenges they’ve faced, and how attitudes towards women in STEM have changed over the years. Participants will learn about different STEM careers, opportunities for students interested in STEM, and have the opportunity to ask questions of our experts.
Ocean Acidification Day of Action: Shell Shocked Virtual Field Trip
As part of the Ocean Acidification Day of Action, this virtual event focuses on the effects of ocean acidification on crustaceans. Amalia and Phil will first provide a brief overview of ocean acidification before discussing how their focal species respond to a changing environment. Phil will focus on the effects of acidification on the swimming behavior of larval stone crabs and spiny lobsters. Amalia will then discuss her work exploring the effects of acidification on the physiology and immune response in juvenile American lobsters. The speakers will then end the presentation with some suggestions for how audience members can get involved in climate action and how even small changes can make a difference.
