The Growing Crisis In Our Oceans: The Rise of Mysterious Outbreaks of Infectious Disease A Virtual Conversation with Dr. Drew Harvell, author of Ocean Outbreak: Confronting the Rising Tide of Marine D

Science Writers in New York is pleased to present Drew Harvell, PhD, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University. Dr. Harvell will speak with SWINY co-chair David Levine about how marine epidemics can cause mass die-offs of wildlife from the bottom to the top of food chains, impacting the health of ocean ecosystems as well as lives on land. Portending global environmental disaster, ocean outbreaks are fueled by warming seas, sewage dumping, unregulated aquaculture, and drifting plastic.
