CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE PRESENTATION

Join us for a free virtual presentation with guest speaker, Veronica Padula!

In this presentation, you'll learn about the various ways in which marine debris impacts people and wildlife in the Bering Sea. Marine debris is an environmental justice issue for many communities, and the more we know and understand this complex issue, the better prepared we are to find solutions to it.

Padula is the Assistant Director of the Ecosystem Conservation Office, the environmental department of the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government. She loves seabirds and the ocean and considers herself very fortunate to do a job that allows her to study both.

This event will be recorded for future viewing and will be accessible on our YouTube page and Facebook page.
