SUMMARY:Alliance for New Jersey Environmental Education 27th Annual Conference: "Exploring our Blue Planet" (Keynote)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David E. Guggenheim will deliver the keynote address to the Alliance for New Jersey Environmental Education’s (ANJEE’s) 27th Annual Environmental Education Conference\, Exploring our Blue Planet. \nThe conference takes place January 27 and 28\, 2012 (Preconference workshops: January 26\, 2012) at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel and Conference Center\, Plainsboro\, NJ. \nWhile many around us are going green\, ANJEE is going Blue for 2012! \nOur world has been called “The Blue Planet” and “The Water Planet” for good reason; it is the only known planet with any significant amount of water and thus the only planet we know of that can sustain life. This conference will investigate water in many different ways – as a resource for life\, as a habitat\, and as a crucial resource that requires protection from overuse and pollution. The science\, curricula\, issues\, and politics of water will be explored\, along with many other environmental education topics. \nThe ANJEE Conference is a professional development conference for all environmental educators\, formal and nonformal alike. We welcome teachers and administrators from Pre-K to university level; and leadership and staff from nature centers\, after-school programs\, museums\, government agencies\, zoos\, non-profits and you! \nOfficial conference site: http://www.anjee.net/conference/index.html

SUMMARY:Caribbean Environment: From Cuba's Paradise to Haiti's Nightmare\, and Everything in Between (SEJ 2011\, Miami)
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean Environment: From Cuba’s Paradise to Haiti’s Nightmare\, and Everything in Between \nSaturday October 22: 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon \nINTERCONTINENTAL MIAMI\n100 CHOPIN PLAZA ? 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

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

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.

So far he has traveled more than 35\,000 miles\, visited 13 states\, made 39 speeches and reached more than 10\,000 students in schools ranging from the northernmost community in North America\, Barrow\, Alaska\, to Macksville\, Kansas\, close to the geographic center of the lower 48 states\, to the southern tip of Florida. In 2007 he served as a scientific advisor to Greenpeace for its expedition to map deepwater corals in the Bering Sea where he piloted the first-ever manned submersible dives into the Bering Sea’s largest underwater canyons. Guggenheim played a lead role in building the recently-formed Gulf of Mexico Alliance\, a partnership among the U.S. Gulf states and 13 federal agencies and Mexico. Guggenheim is also working to introduce cutting-edge technologies for sustainable aquaculture practices to the Americas to reduce pressure on overfished wild fish stocks. Guggenheim previously served as Vice President at The Ocean Conservancy\, President & CEO of The Conservancy of Southwest Florida\, co-chair of the Everglades Coalition and president of the Friends of Channel Islands National Park. \nENTERTAINMENT SPOTLIGHT\nDavid O. Frazier – Joe Garry – Marty Henne\n~ Special Guest Entertainers to Illuminate our Days at Sea ~ \n\nLuxurious Accommodations Aboard the Prince Albert II \nTheatre veterans\, David Frazier and Joe Garry\, will offer a series of original cabaret lectures reflecting the voyage destination through historical characters. For our voyage they have developed special plays relating the stories of Winston Churchill’s time in South Africa\, Admiral Byrd and Ernest Shakleton’s exploration of the Falkland Islands\, and Napoleon’s exile on St. Helena. David and Joe will also share stories of musical theatre from their unique behind-the-scenes perspective. They have worked with such luminaries as Audrey Hepburn\, Sarah Vaughn\, Rosemary Clooney and Marvin Hamlish. Their award-winning television show ?Odysseys and Ovations? currently airs on PBS in the United States\, and highlights travel and the arts. \n \nSophisticated. Warm. Funny. Intelligent. Entertaining. These are just some of the words that have been used to describe a performance by pianist\, singer and raconteur Marty Henne. And what a performance it is. Marty shares not only well-known songs\, but little-known stories about the writers who wrote them. 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. Our days at sea are filled with educational lectures and interesting entertainment options. Attend a special performance by Marty Henne or a fascinating lecture by David Guggenheim. All accommodations feature an interactive television system allowing you to watch your choice of movies or documentary films and even recorded broadcasts from The Theatre in the comfort and privacy of your suite or stateroom. \nDays 22-23 – Cape Town\, South Africa\nBefore our arrival into Cape Town\, we hope to cruise past Cape of Good Hope to complete our epic Cape to Cape Adventure. Tonight we enjoy an evening at leisure in Cape Town. \nAfter breakfast on Friday\, March 25\, disembark the?Prince Albert II. \nExpedition highlights and wildlife listed here are possible experiences only and cannot be guaranteed. Your Expedition Leader and Captain will work together to ensure opportunities for adventure and exploration are the best possible\, taking into account the prevailing weather and wildlife activity. Expedition Team members as well as guest speakers and their lecture topics scheduled for this voyage are subject to change or cancellation without notice. \nPOST-CRUISE OPTIONS\nExtend your Silversea holiday with a post-cruise Silver Shore programme.

SUMMARY:Senate Energy Committee Hearing on National Oil Spill Commission Report re BP Deepwater Horizon
DESCRIPTION:Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s first hearing of the new Congress will examine the report and recommendations (including any recommendations for legislative action) issued by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling.  That this is the Committee’s first hearing is a clear indication of the importance that Chairman Bingaman places on the need for reforms to ensure that our nation’s Outer Continental Shelf is managed in a safe\, balanced and prudent manner. \nSenate Energy unanimously reported a bill in the last Congress (S. 3516) that would raise the bar on well safety\, blowout prevention\, oil spill response and worker training.  Such legislation continues to be a top priority.  It is necessary to ensure that offshore oil and gas drilling is conducted in a safe manner that protects workers\, local residents\, natural resources and the economies that depend on those resources. \nThe chapter of the National Commission’s report that is currently available underscores this point\, noting that ?? the root causes [of the blowout] are systemic and\, absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies\, might well recur.? \nThe commission’s two co-chairs are expected to testify.  The hearing will be Wednesday\, Jan. 26\, at 9:30 a.m. in the Kennedy Caucus Room (Room 325 in the Russell Office Building.) Additional details…

SUMMARY:Cuba's Offshore Oil Development ? Radio Discussion on NPR-WGCU
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to NPR station WGCU (Southwest Florida) on Wednesday\, August 26\, 2009 at noon Eastern/9am Pacific. Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, the “Ocean Doctor\,” will be part of a radio discussion on “Gulf Coast Live\,” for a program focused on oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico\, and specifically\, the fact that Cuba is now rapidly pursuing the development of its oil resources in the Gulf following the discovery of a major oil reserve there in 2004. \nFrom WGCU: “The battle lines have been drawn and the fight over oil in the Gulf deepens. We’ll take a closer look at the pros and cons of drilling – we’ll hear from both sides as to whether or not it can solve our oil and gas dependency and whether it’s even safe. Also on the show – Cuba is ready to begin drilling off its northern coast. It may start leasing to companies willing to drill for oil by the end of next year. Is Cuba’s oil demand going to affect Florida’s waters?“ \nListen to the archived broadcast at WGCU.

SUMMARY:Event: A New Era for U.S.-Cuba Relations on Marine and Coastal Resources Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Event Summary\nCuba sits at the convergence of the Atlantic Ocean\, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Its coastal waters are dense with islets\, keys and reefs that provide critical habitats and spawning grounds for a rich array of fish\, endangered sea turtles\, manatees and other marine life. Preserving Cuba’s biodiversity is critically important to the natural resources and economies of coastal communities in the United States and other neighboring countries. \nActive scientific and management cooperation is needed to address the growing threats to Cuba’s biodiversity including coral reefs\, migratory bird habitats\, marine mammals and turtles\, and biodiversity shared throughout the region. Greater communication and collaboration among scientists\, conservation professionals and government agencies could benefit both the United States and Cuba\, as well as the shared ecosystems that link both nations. \nOn April 28\, the Brookings Institution and the Environmental Defense Fund will host a discussion on U.S.-Cuba relations on marine and coastal resources conservation. Steve Hamburg\, chief scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund\, will offer introductory remarks. Brookings Visiting Fellow Vicki Huddleston\, former head of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana\, will give the keynote address. Scott Edwards of the Environmental Defense Fund will moderate a discussion featuring a panel of experts. After the program\, the panelists will take audience questions. \nAdditional information and online registration \nEvent Information \nWhen: \nTuesday\, April 28\, 2009\n2:00 PM to 5:30 PM \nWhere:\nFalk Auditorium\nThe Brookings Institution\n1775 Massachusetts Ave.\, NW\nWashington\, DC \nContact:\nBrookings Office of Communications\nE-mail: events@brookings.edu\nPhone: 202.797.6105 \nParticipants \nIntroduction\nSteve Hamburg\nChief Scientist\, Environmental Defense Fund\n\nKeynote Address\nVicki Huddleston\nVisiting Fellow\, Foreign Policy \nPanelists\nDr. David Guggenheim\nPresident\, 1Planet1 Ocean \nDr. Robert Hueter\nSenior Scientist and Director\, Center for Shark Research\, Mote Marine Lab \nRobert L.

SUMMARY:The State of Cuba's Coral Reefs
DESCRIPTION:Initial results of joint Cuba-U.S. study to be presented at the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) in Ft. Lauderdale\, July 7-11\, 2008 \nThe world’s major coral reef science meeting\, the International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS)\, returns to the United States July 7-11\, 2008\, to be held in Ft. Lauderdale. Dr. Gaspar Gonz?lez Sans?n\, Titular Professor at the University of Havana’s Center for Marine Research (Centro de Investigaciones Marinas [CIM]) is scheduled to be the lead presenter of a paper entitled\, Present Condition of Coral Reefs and Associated Ecosystems in the Northwest Region of Cuba. \nThe University of Havana’s Center for Marine Research (CIM) [Centro de Investigaciones Marinas] and the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies (HRI) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi are leading a collaborative effort\, Proyecto Costa Noroccidental [Project of the Northwest Coast]\, a comprehensive multi-year research and conservation program for Cuba’s Gulf of Mexico coast. Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, president of 1planet1ocean\, is a member of HRI’s Advisory Council and also serves as HRI’s Cuba Programs Manager and is co-principal investigator of the project with Dr. Gaspar Gonz?lez Sans?n of CIM. \nProyecto Costa Noroccidental is the first comprehensive study of Cuba’s Gulf of Mexico region and is providing insights into the health of Cuban coral reefs which may provide important clues for conservation of coral reefs elsewhere. The ICRS is held every four years with sanctioning by the International Society of Reef Studies.ICRS is devoted to the best reef science available\, with the purpose of sharing scientific findings with government agencies\, resource management\, and non-government organizations throughout the world. Previous ICRS have been held in Okinawa (2004)\, Bali (2000)\, Panama (1996)\, Guam (1992)\, Australia (1988)\, Tahiti (1985)\, the Philippines (1980)\, Miami (1977)\, Australia (1974)\, and the first ICRS in India (1969).
