Sharing our events, and other ocean professional development opportunities, from around Monterey Bay and beyond.
Hello All! Sorry this one is getting to you a little bit late, your ghost writer got lost in Big Sur on a leisurely 13-mile jaunt and fully expected to bivouac overnight in the Ventana Wilderness. Luckily, I just got home at midnight instead. Thank you to everyone who came out to last week's event and to all our speakers, it was really a home run. And please do pick something fun to attend this week.
