Hi all,

The talk below will likely interest lots of people on naturens.

Cheers,

Halifax


Nova Scotian Institute of Science 150th Anniversary Free Public Lectures

Food, Furs & Feathers:
History of Human-induced Changes in Coastal Ecosystems

Speaker:  Dr. Heike Lotze
Canada Research Chair in Marine Renewable Resources
Department of Biology, Dalhousie University

Monday, November 7, 2011
7:30pm
Location:  Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History auditorium
1747 Summer St., Halifax.

Throughout history, people have used marine resources for food, fuel,
furs, feathers and other purposes, but when did they actually start
having a marked impact on the abundance of marine animal populations
and the structure of coastal ecosystems? Dr. Lotze will present
documented historical changes in the outer Bay of Fundy and then
compare those to changes in other regions around the world to derive a
general history of human-induced changes in marine ecosystems.
