The ocean is essential to all life but experts agree that there are changes affecting the ocean and how it functions. On World Ocean Day, join us for an evening of deep thinking with *Dr. Jeremy Jackson* from Scripps Institution of Oceanography as he discusses ocean biodiversity loss in his talk  “Brave New Ocean.”

Dr. Jackson’s lecture will kick off  *Changing Tides: A Series of Ocean Discussions* in which top ocean scientists talk about current research and how it is helping to change the tide in ocean science and conservation.

This series is brought to you by Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History and the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) and made possible through a grant from the National Science Foundation.
