WORLD OCEANS DAY CELEBRATION WEBCAST

On June 8, IGLO, in collaboration with the World Ocean Network (WON), will be 
celebrating World Oceans Day (WOD) with a live webcast featuring NOAA's Dr. 
Chris Sabine speaking on Ocean Acidification.

Every year, World Ocean Day brings together more than 250 organizations 
spanning five continents and reaching more than 150 million visitors in 
museums and science centers, aquariums, educational charities, institutions 
and NGOs. Designated by the United Nations and supported by the World Ocean 
Network and The Ocean Project, World Oceans Day is a celebration designed to 
raise awareness about the importance of the ocean and the impact of our daily 
actions on the marine environment. This year's theme is "One Ocean, One 
Climate, One Future."

Dr. Sabine's presentation on ocean acidification will address one of the most 
crucial issues linking oceans and climate. Tune into the live stream of his 
webcast will be available on IGLO's website 
(www.astc.org/iglo<http://www.astc.org/iglo>) on Monday, June 8 at 2:30 PM 
EDT.

The webstream will be live at 2:15 p.m. EDT on Monday, June 8th, with content 
beginning at 2:30 PM EDT. To access the webstream, go to 
http://codian.oar.net. Put in 5147 into the conference ID field, choose your 
preferred stream rate and click ‘stream this conference.’ A chat box will 
appear as well, which will allow individuals at your institution to ask 
questions of the speaker.

MAGPI is happy to be partnering with ASTC, NOAA and the Internet2 Commons to 
bring you this program!
