IN THE LOOP
OCEANS 2016 Conference
This past September, SeaKeepers participated in the OCEANS 2016 Conference in Monterey, CA. Associate Director of Programs, Julienne Beblo, presented SeaKeepers' DISCOVERY Yachts Program in a panel discussion focused on citizen science.  Additionally, she was joined by Kevin Hardy, member of SeaKeepers' Scientific Advisory Council and retired Scripps engineer, to present a paper outlining the creation and accomplishments of the DISCOVERY Yachts Program.  The conference was an ideal opportunity to highlight SeaKeepers' newly created West Coast chapter and partnership with Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
