SUMMARY:Ocean Doctor at Grace\, Race & Renewing the Commons at Wollam Gardens\, Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Ocean Doctor President Dr. David E. Guggenheim is a featured speaker at\, Grace\, Race & Renewing the Commons\, a literary-and-activism-inspired festival featuring speakers and workshops at Wollam Gardens – a sustainable locavore farm and flower destination. The event will cultivate conversations\, ideas\, and strategies to think out loud about ways to answer some of the most pressing challenges facing all of us today. Dr. Guggenheim’s remarks will include readings from his forthcoming book\, DEEP in Enemy Territory: An American Marine Scientist’s 20-Year Odyssey in Cuba and the Race to Save the World’s Coral Reefs. \nWhat are some of the historic factors driving conversation in the public square about race\, and how can we use those\, as well as today’s developments\, to create broader awareness and dialogue? In agriculture\, what can we do to adapt to changing climate conditions? Can we devise new ways based on old practices to think about sharing common natural resources? What is the role of ordinary citizens in creating dialogue with policymakers about sustaining the oceans and slowing the extinction of species? How might we bring grace to our civic discourse about the opioid epidemic? What is the role of humor in countering alternative facts?

SUMMARY:Advancing Environmental Sustainability and  Historic Preservation in Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Environmental Sustainability and Historic Preservation in Cuba\nCuba-U.S. Collaboration in a New Era of Change\nMonday\, June 4\, 2018 – 1:00pm – 5:00pm \nCarnegie Endowment for International Peace – 1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \nCuba has developed differently from any other country in the Caribbean. Many of its natural ecosystems remain remarkably healthy\, and the country’s cultural heritage remains authentic and largely intact. The efforts to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States by President Obama fueled dramatic growth in tourism and interest in investment on the island\, sparking concern that Cuba now faced the same scale of pressures that have resulted in environmental and heritage degradation throughout the Caribbean. With the advent of the Trump presidency and chilling of relations\, some of these pressures have waned\, but likely only temporarily. \nThis public event explores opportunities for small-scale\, collaborative initiatives to successfully advance environmental sustainability and historic preservation in Cuba during this period of political uncertainty. It includes the public release of a new report by Ocean Doctor and the Center for International Policy\, A Century of Unsustainable Tourism in the Caribbean: Lessons Learned and Opportunities for Cuba. \nSpeakers \nIntroductory Remarks\n\nSalih Booker\, Executive Director\, Center for International Policy\nWelcome\nHis Excellency Jose R. Cabañas Ph.D.\, Ambassador\, Embassy of the Republic of Cuba\nCuba-U.S. Collaboration in a Time of Change \n\nRobert L.

Guggenheim\, President Ocean Doctor (moderator)\nReport Release: A Century of Unsustainable Tourism in the Caribbean: Lessons Learned and Opportunities for Cuba;\nProject “Red Alerta” on the Isle of Youth\, the Potential for Small-Scale Community-Based Conservation \n\nDr. Brian M.

SUMMARY:Cuba: The Accidental Eden - Screening & Discussion at DC Environmental Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:CUBA: THE ACCIDENTAL EDEN (USA\, 2010\, 60 min.)\nCuba may have  been isolated politically and economically for the past 50 years\, but  its borders have remained open to wildlife for which Cuba’s undeveloped  islands are an irresistible draw. While many islands in the Caribbean  have poisoned or paved over their ecological riches on land and in the  sea in pursuit of a growing tourist industry\, Cuba’s wild landscapes  have remained virtually untouched\, creating a safe haven for rare and  intriguing indigenous animals\, as well as for hundreds of species of  migrating birds and marine creatures. Coral reefs have benefited\, too.  Independent research has shown that Cuba’s corals are much healthier  than others both in the Caribbean and around the world. Written and produced by Doug Schultz for PBS NATURE. \nDiscussion with David E. Guggenheim\,  who stars in the film\, follows screening. \n Ticket/Reservation Info: FREE. no reservations needed. \nNational Museum of Natural History\nBaird Auditorium\n10th St. & Constitution Ave.\, NW\n(Metro:  Smithsonian\, The Mall exit or Federal Triangle\, 12th St. exit.

Marty has accumulated a wealth of first-hand anecdotes about the Gershwins\, Cole Porter\, Rodgers and Hart and other world-famous songwriters and celebrities of the twentieth century. An evening spent with Marty is one filled with stories\, smiles and\, of course\, great music! \n\n\nDay 1 – Ushuaia\, Argentina\nEmbark?Prince Albert II and meet some of your fellow explorers as you become acquainted with the luxurious amenities found onboard. This evening\, after settling in and setting sail\, you will be introduced to your Expedition Team. \nDay 2 – Cape Horn\, Chile\nThis morning we cruise past the rocky promontory of Cape Horn ? the southernmost point in South America and for many years an important navigational landmark. Its meridian point serves as a dividing line separating the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Approximately 49\,000 km? of this extreme southern region has been declared a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Conditions permitting\, we will go ashore to explore this bleak and beautiful landscape at the end of the world\, and photograph the caretaker’s house set on the point surrounded by the last rocks of the American continent. \nDay 3 – At Sea\nGather in The Theatre to hear fascinating tales of adventure and to learn more about the region’s endemic wildlife and remarkable nature. Our knowledgeable Lecture Staff members are experts in a variety of scientific fields. Other onboard diversions include spa treatments\, a workout in the Fitness Centre\, and\, of course\, exquisite dining experiences. \nDay 4 – West Point Island\, Falkland Islands\n Saunders Island\, Falkland Islands\nWatch for Peale’s dolphins and the distinctive black and white markings of the Commerson’s dolphin as we approach small West Point Island. Upon landing by Zodiac\, we find photographic opportunities are everywhere as we walk across the rolling moorland. Our 1.25-mile hike takes us to Devil’s Nose\,?a rocky promontory?where we hope to encounter a colony of approximately 14\,500 pairs of black-browed albatross that nest side-by-side with feisty rockhopper and Magellanic penguins. Learn about the island’s unique vegetation including the rare Felton plant. After our hike\, we will enjoy tea and cookies at the settlement. The hospitable island owners\, Lily and Roddy Napier\, are always happy to answer your questions and share their stories. \nFollowing lunch\, the?Prince Albert II will anchor off Saunders Island ? the second largest offshore island within the Falkland Islands archipelago. We plan to land our Zodiacs at The Neck\, a narrow part of the island\, where we will begin our explorations\, hoping to encounter four different types of penguin species: king\, gentoo\, rockhopper and Magellanic. \nDay 5 – Stanley\, Falkland Islands\nStanley is the capital of the remote Falkland Islands\, and has a distinct British ambience. Stroll through the charming streets of this colourful little town\, lined with quaint cottages and a variety of traditional pubs. Visit the 19th-century Anglican cathedral and wander through the small local museum. Some lingering reminders of the 1986 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina may still be seen though the island has settled back to its quiet business of raising sheep. \nDays 6-7 – At Sea\nBinoculars and camera in hand\, head out on deck to watch for seabirds and marine mammals. Attend informative lectures that will prepare you for the upcoming ports-of-call and the adventures that lie ahead. Peruse an array of titles and topics in the well-stocked Library\, enjoy the finest cigars and cognacs at the Connoisseur’s Corner or indulge in any of the other special amenities offered aboard ship. \nDays 8-11 – South Georgia\nThis breathtaking destination of towering snow-covered mountains\, mighty glaciers\, and low-lying grasslands attracts an astounding concentration of wildlife: Southern fur seals\, southern elephant seals and a variety of albatross species including black-browed\, light-mantled sooty\, grey-headed and the spectacular wandering albatross\, plus thousands of king and macaroni penguins. \nSouth Georgia is also linked to the early Antarctic explorers. Captain James Cook first stepped ashore in 1775\, but perhaps more famous is Ernest Shackleton’s arrival in 1916 following the sinking of his ship\, theEndurance. Visit Shackleton’s grave and the whaling museum at Grytviken. \nHere are some of the places we may visit: \nCooper’s Bay \n\nAn unforgettable view of huge icebergs can be seen surrounding Cooper’s Bay as we approach.\nGo ashore by Zodiac to see numerous breeds of penguins\, such as macaronis and chinstraps\, on the rocks and waters surrounding the island.\n\nGold Harbour \n\nA large king penguin colony can be found between Weddell Glacier and Gold Harbour.\nSeals can be seen resting on ice floes and sunning on the beaches.\nIt is an unforgettable experience to cruise by Zodiac between the glaciers.\n\nGrytviken \n\nAn historic whaling station\, all that remain are the rusted hulls of long abandoned whalers.\nNow a museum\, guests can learn about past whaling techniques and view various exhibits on exploration and discovery.\nAt the burial site of the famous explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton\, we will toast the great explorer and his many accomplishments.\n\nSalisbury Plain \n\nA favourite breeding ground for king penguins\, it is amazing to see how they completely cover the beaches and hills.\n\n\nDays 12-15 – At Sea\nAs we cross the southern Atlantic\, leisurely days at sea are yours to enjoy. Participate in discussions and onboard activities led by the Expedition Team\, relax in one of the lounges with that book you’ve been meaning to read\, and meet up with new friends for cocktails. Enjoy a performance by one of our guest entertainers in the evening. Perhaps listen to a special tale about the Falklands\, or a recounting of Napoleon’s time in St. Helena. Before turning in for the night\, take a stroll on deck to take in the solitude of the vast sea and sky. \nDays 16-17 – Tristan Da Cunha\, UK\nWe will watch for whales in the surrounding waters as we approach the volcanic Tristan De Cunha island group. Recognised as the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world\, its closest neighbouring landmass is the island of St. Helena some 2\,430 km away. The main island is home to fewer than 300 hardy residents. Today we enjoy guided walks with the local inhabitants of the village while our onboard geologist will lead a walk to the 1961 Volcanic cone and lava flow. Learn how the islanders were evacuated and how it affected their lives.? Once at the top\, we will have a beautiful scenic view of the whole settlement ? a photo opportunity not to be missed. We will meet with some of the island children and hear what Tristan life is like through their eyes during our visit to St Mary’s School.? Our onboard ornithologist will point out birdlife\, hopefully including the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross\, sooty albatross\, albatross\, Tristan thrush\, and Tristan wandering albatross ? a critically endangered species with fewer than 1\,500 breeding pairs left in the world. Tristan is also where 90% of the world’s northern rockhopper penguins come to breed. \nOur itinerary calls for one and a half days exploring this remote archipelago\, and (weather permitting) we hope to land on either the uninhabited Nightingale Islands or Inaccessible Island\, a protected wildlife reserve and World Heritage Site. You will see the most magnificent wildlife\, flora and fauna all unspoilt by people. All guests will receive a certificate verifying that they have indeed visited this extremely remote world destination. \nDays 18-21 – At Sea\nEnjoy a variety of onboard activities.
