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.

MIAMI\, FL\, 33131 \nCaribbean Environment: From Cuba’s “Paradise” to Haiti’s Nightmare \nFrom deforestation and pollution\, to overpopulation\, loss of resources and lack of protection\, many of the Caribbean nations face serious environmental problems now\, and worse in the future. With 95 percent reef loss\, Haiti lacks fish to feed its population. The largest fish found in those waters in recent years was six inches long. Reef Check has begun a project in Haiti to start a conservation area there\, and is training people\, which means they first need to learn how to swim. Cuba lives between an invasive species nightmare and a temporary botanical safe haven\, but for how long? Puerto Rico’s overdevelopment threatens to pave the entire island. We’ll examine the present situation and any remediation efforts being undertaken in this area\, so crucial for tourism and the fishing industry. \nModerator: Susan Soltero\, Univision.Net (Puerto Rico) \nSpeakers: \nDavid Guggenheim\, the “Ocean Doctor;” Senior Fellow\, The Ocean Foundation; and Director\, Cuba Marine Research & Conservation Program \nGregor Hodgson\, Founder and Executive Director\, Reef Check \nNadine Patrice\, Executive Director\, Operation Green Leaves Inc. \n  \nRoom: Sandringham \n  URL:https://oceandoctor.org/event/caribbean-environment-from-cuba%e2%80%99s-paradise-to-haiti%e2%80%99s-nightmare-and-everything-in-between-sej-2011-miami/ LOCATION:Interncontinental Miami Hotel\, 100 Chopin Plaza\, Miami\, FL\, 33131\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20111022T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20111022T101500 DTSTAMP:20260417T204524 CREATED:20111019T141919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20111019T142636Z UID:2995-1319274000-1319278500@oceandoctor.org SUMMARY:Cuba Begins Oil Drilling 40 Miles Off U.S. Shores (SEJ 2011\, Miami) DESCRIPTION:Cuba Begins Oil Drilling 40 Miles Off U.S. Shores \nSaturday October 22: 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. \nINTERCONTINENTAL MIAMI\n100 CHOPIN PLAZA ? MIAMI\, FL\, 33131 \nCuba Begins Oil Drilling 40 Miles Off U.S. Shores \nIf you think the BP spill did serious damage to fishing and tourism\, imagine an unregulated drilling project just 40-50 miles up-current from South Florida pristine beaches and world-renowned fishing industry. Cuba is scheduled to begin drilling just weeks after the SEJ conference. Will the U.S. be able to influence its safety standards despite the U.S. embargo and 50 years of tension? Could the Castro brothers use the project as a political tool in their volatile relationship with Cuba’s stated arch enemy? There are new efforts under way right now to create a dialogue between Cuba\, the US and Mexico. And panelists will give us an insider’s analysis of America’s vulnerable position. \nModerator: Helen Aguirre Ferre\, Co-host “Prohibido Callarse\,” WQBA 1140 AM Univision Radio (Miami); and Host of “Issues\,” WPBT2\, PBS Affiliate (Miami) \nSpeakers: \nDavid Guggenheim\, the “Ocean Doctor;” Senior Fellow\, The Ocean Foundation; and Director\, Cuba Marine Research & Conservation Program \nJorge Pi??n\, Oil and Gas Expert and Visiting Research Fellow\, Cuban Research Institute\, Latin American and Caribbean Center\, Florida International University \nJohn Proni\, Executive Director\, Applied Research Center\, Florida International University; and former Director\, Ocean Chemistry Division\, Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \nDaniel Whittle\, Cuba Program Director\, Environmental Defense Fund \n  \nRoom: Sandringham URL:https://oceandoctor.org/event/cuba-begins-oil-drilling-40-miles-off-u-s-shores-sej-2011-miami/ LOCATION:Interncontinental Miami Hotel\, 100 Chopin Plaza\, Miami\, FL\, 33131\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oceandoctor.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sej-miami-2011.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
