Overfishing, oil spills, plastics, climate change – our oceans are in big trouble. How can we restore their health?

John Nightingale has led the Vancouver Aquarium for more than two decades. He joins the Salt Spring Forum in a deep-reaching conversation about the oceans – and how we can transform our relationship to them.

No stranger to challenges, Nightingale has led the world’s most important aquarium from being a showcase for performing orcas to being a globally oriented conservation organization.

A professional biologist and top-flight communicator, Nightingale seeks to engage and inform millions of people about the oceans and aquatic life – all in pursuit of conservation.

Under Nightingale’s leadership, the Vancouver Aquarium has become one of the “greenest” civic institutions in Canada. Its history, collections, and advanced research programs contribute greatly to science and conservation.

Tickets are available at ArtSpring and Salt Spring Books. $15 – 2018 Members; $20 – General Public.
