SUMMARY:The Promise and Potential for Collaborative Marine Conservation with Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Special Lunch Session\nFollowing the dramatic December 2014 announcement by President Obama\, the U.S. and Cuba are working toward normalized diplomatic relations for the first time in a half century. Prior to the announcement\, among the few points of U.S. engagement with Cuba had been in marine research and conservation. With the announcement\, the opportunities to expand collaborative marine research\, conservation and education are profound and immediate. And the imperative could not be greater. While significant marine resource degradation has been documented throughout the wider Caribbean region\, in contrast\, Cuba offers an underwater oasis of healthy coral reef ecosystems. Collaborative U.S.-Cuban efforts can ensure protection of healthy reefs\, and further may provide important insight on protecting and restoring coral reefs throughout the Caribbean. At the same time\, normalized relations will open new channels of commerce and tourism and put new pressures on marine resources. This panel will explore the prospect of normalized diplomatic relations for continued and expanded collaboration and examine new opportunities and threats as we approach a post-embargo world. \nModerator Cornelia Dean | Science Writer\, New York Times and Writer-In-Residence\, Brown University \nDiscussants The Honorable Sheldon Whitehouse | U.S. Senate\, Rhode Island and Co-Chair\, U.S. Senate Oceans Caucus \nAmbassador José Ramón Cabañas Rodríguez  | Chief of Mission of the Cuban Interests Section\, Embassy of Switzerland \nAmbassador David A. Balton | Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oceans and Fisheries\, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs\, U.S. Department of State \nRobert Muse\, J.D. | Attorney\, Law Offices of Robert Muse        \nDavid E. Guggenheim\, Ph.D. | President\, Ocean Doctor \nLunch provided for all premier registrants\, and limited quantities available for purchase on-site. \nThis panel will be live-streamed at: OceansLIVE.org

SUMMARY:Love and Hope Among Caribbean Reefs
DESCRIPTION:Join renowned coral reef ecosystem experts\, Drs. Nancy Knowlton and Jeremy Jackson\, along with Ocean Doctor founder and president\, Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, for a film presentation and discussion about the fate of coral reefs in the Caribbean. A major 2014 report authored by Jackson and a team he led reveals a 50 percent decline in corals across the Caribbean since 1970. The situation is dire\, but there are reasons for hope. One of them: Cuba where its coral reefs remain healthy and resilient. The panel will share other reasons for hope as well. \nFROM DESPAIR TO REPAIR (USA\, 2015\, 8 min.) Dr. Jeremy Jackson and Dr. Nancy Knowlton fell in love with each other and coral reefs 40 years ago. In this short film\, they discuss the plight of the Caribbean coral reefs. Today those reefs are a pale shadow of their former selves in most locations\, due primarily to overfishing\, pollution and overpopulation. Given that Caribbean coral reefs generate more than $3 billion annually from tourism and fisheries and that millions of ocean species depend upon them\, this is a tragedy that must be reversed.  The film is a complement to a report\, “Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012\,” released by the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) in partnership with the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN)\, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)\, and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). Directed and produced by Sandy Cannon-Brown. \nGARDENS OF THE QUEEN (USA\, 2011\, 12 min.) In a world of coral reefs dead and dying\, Cuba’s coral reefs remain astonishingly healthy\, especially in an area known as “Gardens of the Queen\,” Cuba’s first marine protected area\, now a National Park and one of the world’s most pristine and vibrant coral reefs. Join us for a screening of the Edward R. Murrow Award-winning segment of 60 MINUTES\, taking you on an underwater adventure off the Cuban coast to visit Gardens of the Queen\, where Anderson Cooper scuba dives with Dr. David E. Guggenheim \, Founder and President\, Ocean Doctor. \nDiscussion follows screening with: \n\nDr.  Nancy Knowlton\, Sant Chair for Marine Science\, Smithsonian Institution\nDr. Jeremy Jackson\, Marine Scientist/Professor\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\nDr. David E. Guggenheim\, Founder & President\, Ocean Doctor\n\nSaturday\, March 21\, 2:00 p.m. \n\n\nFREE. Reservations encouraged.  \nNational Museum of Natural History\, Johnson IMAX Theatre\, 10th St. & Constitution Ave.\, NW (Metro: Smithsonian or Federal Triangle) \n\n\n

Guggenheim\, has been named as a finalist in the 2014 BLUE Ocean Film Festival and will be screened during the week-long event in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, November 3-9\, 2014. The Ocean Doctor team will be at the BLUE Ocean Film Festival all week — look for the Ocean Doctor booth.  \nAbout the Film\nWhile on an expedition in the South Atlantic from the tip of South America to the tip of South Africa\, marine scientist  witnessed – and filmed – the worst environmental disaster of his life. En route to a little-known cluster of islands\, his ship received a distress call\, requesting assistance in rescuing the crew from a Maltese freighter that had somehow managed to run aground at Nightingale Island\, part of what is considered the most remote inhabited island group in the world\, Tristan da Cunha. The wreck unleashed a catastrophic oil spill at the doorstep of the second largest concentration of seabirds in the world\, home to 65 percent of the world’s population of the endangered Northern Rockhopper penguin. Beloved and iconic\, it is a surprise to many that most penguin species are in trouble and have declined by as much as 90 percent since the 1950s. Equally surprising is a growing global threat\, hiding in plain sight: The common cargo vessel\, whose dismal safety record is proving over and over again that it doesn’t take a supertanker or oil well blowout to create an oil spill disaster. Disaster at Nightingale is a film about an ecological catastrophe that few know occurred\, in a place that few know exists\, resulting from a global threat that few are aware of. The film reveals why the disaster occurred\, its unthinkable aftermath\, and how such “statistically impossible” disasters aren’t nearly as impossible as we once thought. \nSee the Trailer:\n[youtube rd257H1pGxE 590 356 ] \nAbout BLUE\n[pullquote]“More than films\, more than a celebration of all things wet\, the Blue Ocean Film Festival brings together a potent mix of artists\, scientists\, conservationists\, decision makers\, industry leaders\, inquisitive teachers\, lively kids and more.

DESCRIPTION:Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, the “Ocean Doctor\,” speaks at The Scuba Sports Club\, Westchester\, New York\, about Cuba’s healthy marine ecosystems and the opportunity they present for understanding how to restore the world’s coral reef ecosystems. He also discusses Ocean Doctor’s legal travel program for U.S. citizens and residents to Cuba’s spectacular Gardens of the Queen National Park\, the largest fully-protected marine protected area in the Caribbean\, featured on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper. \nThe cover story of Scuba Diving Magazine features Ocean Doctor’s unique educational travel programs to Cuba and the spectacular Gardens of the Queen. We’re also proud to say that Scuba Diving Magazine readers voted Gardens of the Queen “Best Marine Park\,” and with good reason. It’s the Caribbean’s largest fully-protected marine park and its health and wildlife are unmatched in the region. \nThis unique educational journey examines the relationship of Cuban citizens with their natural environment\, including burgeoning socioeconomic and cultural issues brought about by Cuba’s growing ecotourism industry. The exchange also represents an opportunity to explore with our Cuban colleagues important environmental issues that impact the marine waters that both nations share. Visitors will meet with Cuban scientists\, resource managers\, ecotourism professionals and community members. \nSix days of this 11-day/10-night trip will be spent aboard a floating hotel or live-aboard dive vessel in the heart of Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen National Park\, where much of the story lies underwater. U.S. visitors will accompany Cuban specialists and be able to scuba dive in one of the healthiest marine ecosystems remaining in the Caribbean. Visitors will spend four nights at a 5-star hotel in Havana\, visiting a variety of Cuba institutions and meeting with a range of Cuban professionals and community members.  \nAbout the Gardens of the Queen \nGardens of the Queen was named by Christopher Columbus to honor the Queen of Spain and the area remains as spectacularly beautiful and wild as when Columbus experienced it centuries ago. Today\, it is among the healthiest marine ecosystems in the region. \nThe Gardens harbor abundant and healthy fish and shark population\, stunning mangrove islands and shallow bays that teem with juvenile species\, rare crocodiles\, flamingos and other birds\, iguanas and the jutia\, a native rodent. \nFor more information\, visit www.oceandoctor.org/gardens. \n  \n

Guggenheim\, President\, Ocean Doctor; Board Member\, Great Whale Conservancy \n\n\n\n\nBackground: The officially sanctioned commercial shipping transit lane along the Southern California coast cuts through critical blue whale feeding habitat.  “Ship strikes” – collisions between the whales and the ships result in many whale deaths. \nBlue whales may be the largest animal to ever live on Earth\, and they are remarkably intelligent and agile\, but they are dwarfed by these ships which are usually unaware a strike has even occurred. No one knows why the blue whales are often unable to avoid the ships\, it might be due to the noise from multiple vessels or because they are so focused on feeding – blue whales must consume tons of krill every day to survive.    There is an alternate shipping route\, supported by the Coast Guard\, which if used during the four critical months of July-October could reduce the number of ship strikes on blue whales by 80-90%.  Members of the industry have stated their willingness to consider using an alternate shipping lane if the Navy’s objection is dropped.    Great Whale Conservancy will be submitting a letter to the White House regarding this matter signed by NGO’s working around the world to protect whales\, along with ~120\,000 signatures from an on-line petition.   \n\n\n\n[youtube E1SwJfny2qs 560 340]\n\n\n\n  \nDownload the Press Release:\n\n\n\n \n  \n   2014-04-18 PRESS RELEASE: Great Whale Conservancy: Earth Day - Whales at the Whitehouse\n   Great-Whale-Conservancy_Earth-Day-2014_EDay-PR-3.pdf\n   \n   \n   561.4 KiB\n   1424 Downloads\n  \n \n\n\n                                                                                                                       \n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SCUBA & H2O Adventure Show 2014 - Seattle\, Washington
DESCRIPTION:Ocean Doctor president\, Dr. David E. Guggenheim\,presents\, A Living Time Machine: Cuba’s Spectacular Ocean Ecosystems and the Hope they Offer the World.”   \nNamed by Christopher Columbus to honor Queen Isabella of Spain\, the Gardens of the Queen (Jardines de la Reina) are one of the healthiest coral reef ecosystems remaining in the Caribbean. In a world where coral reefs are dying\, the corals in the Gardens of the Queen are flourishing\, and like a living time machine\, the Gardens likely resemble the healthy coral reefs Columbus saw\, avoiding the rapid decline so common throughout the Caribbean and the rest of the world. \nWhat makes this ecosystem so healthy? What are the implications for coral reefs elsewhere? What is the role of diving in this special ecosystem? And how is this ecosystem bringing Americans and Cubans closer together? What is so compelling about this Cuban ecosystem that 60 Minutes sent Anderson Cooper and a camera crew to work with Dr. Guggenheim and Cuban scientists? \nNow at last\, American divers can legally visit Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen as part of a special\, licensed educational people-to-people program led by Ocean Doctor and hosted by Avalon Cuban Diving Centers in the heart of Gardens of the Queen. You can find details at OceanDoctor.org/Gardens. \nDr. Guggenheim’s talk will be at the Poseidon Pavilion

SUMMARY:Boston Sea Rovers 2014
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Caradonna Dive Adventures\, Ocean Doctor president\, Dr. David E. Guggenheim will present a 45-minute seminar on “Legal Travel to Cuba for U.S. Citizens” at Boston Sea Rovers 2014\, detailing Ocean Doctor’s Cuba Travel Program featuring Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen. \nThe Boston Sea Rovers is a not for profit volunteer organization dedicated to increasing awareness and appreciation of the marine environment. We are one of the oldest and most distinguished underwater clubs in America \, and have a worldwide reputation of excellence. While the membership has changed repeatedly over the years\, we still hold true to a pledge that was inspired in 1954\, and we remain dedicated to “Raising the Level of Knowledge of the Underwater World”. In order to achieve this lofty goal\, the early members of the club designed and invented the first underwater film show available to the general public. They called that first production a Clinic\, and we have held the event every year since. \nThe Clinic now comprises an entire weekend\, which is typically the second full weekend in March. The event is held at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel-Boston North Shore. The Clinic consists of a world renowned film festival where international underwater film makers present and premier their most recent works\, over forty daytime seminars covering a wide variety of topics\, workshops focused on hands-on training\, and an exhibit hall filled with equipment\, travel destinations\, dive clubs\, and more. \nFounded when SCUBA diving was still in its infancy\, The Boston Sea Rovers are a group of people from diverse and varied backgrounds\, who share the common bond of a love for diving and for the ocean. \n
