Winter Speaker Series - Dr. James Cervino

The WaterFront Center had the outstanding opportunity to play host last night to an extremely accomplished marine scientist, Dr. James Cervino. Dr. Cervino who received his undergraduates degree at NYU, masters at Boston University, and then his Ph.D. at University of South Carolina is currently the visiting professor at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, Mass. 

Dr. Cervino's passion for marine science and the simple building blocks of life are enough to get anyone excited and fired up about what has been taking place on this living, breathing organism we call earth over the past 100+ years. His arguments for the destruction of simple food chains, all beginning with the basic building block of life plankton, are based on years of in depth research and hands on experiences. His conclusions are both surprising and alarming, the rate of change of the earth's climate, giving organisms little or no change to adapt, the increase in CO2 gases, and the destruction of trees. These occurrences have created gaps and holes in the basic building blocks of life all over the word, all of which have produced problems that we may not be able to recover from.

We can't wait until next year! Dr. Cervino wrapped up our WSS talks with a bang; we are already planning our talks for next year, so get ready for some great speakers once again!
