We are fortunate to live in an area where cutting edge ocean & coastal science is taking place, learning more about this research can only help to promote a more informed & engaged society. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) Monster Seminar JAM is part of the OneNOAA Science Discussion Seminar Series and takes place every Thursday at 11am, seminars are open to the public. The OneNOAA series are a joint effort by several NOAA seminar partners to pool seminars of common interest to help share science and management information and to promote constructive dialogue between scientists, educators, and resource managers. There are some great topics on tap for the Fall Series, check them out and plan to attend...
