Mendo Community Ocean Alliance Science

MOCA, which was formed in response to the MLPA is presenting some science regarding MPAs and the marine ecosystem  next week.  The one on Friday we will be asking sea-food providers to supply some grub.  I'm gonna bring some of my smoked rock cod.  Here's Jeanine' email on the deal as well as the PDF for Tuesday.  Go yak-fishers.

MOCA Members & The Press -


We're finally having those Science Talks I've been promising (Hooray!!), and lucky us - two in one week, so if you can't make the one Tuesday night (sorry, recently appointed RSG members, or anyone attending the Fish & Game Commission meeting), we've got another one on Friday night. Of course, we encourage you to come to both!


Here are the details:


Tuesday, February 9th - Marine Ecosystems
Presentation by Dr. Karina Nielsen, Sonoma State University
7:00 - 8:30 pm at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Corner of Fir & Franklin


Friday, February 12th - Marine Reserves
Presentation by Dr. Michele Buckhorn, UC Davis
6:00 - 8:00 pm at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Corner of Fir & Franklin


Please note that the Tuesday night talk on Marine Ecosystems (flyer attached) is being presented by the California Ocean Science Trust and COMPASS (Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea; www.compassonline,org) and the Friday night talk on Marine Reserves is sponsored by MOCA.


And because the Friday night talk is sponsored by MOCA, I need volunteers to provide food (yo, seafood providers!) - please contact me ASAP to let me know what you'll be bringing. Coffee, tea, and pretzels - I've got that covered.


See you there!
