ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Steve is a vivid speaker at TED, featured in numerous TV series and documentary films, and involved in policy making for ocean conservation at UN. His latest conservation work includes application of genetics in marine reserves and fisheries enhancement, with projects in South Pacific, U.S., Bahamas, Palau, and the Philippines.
A prolific author, Steve wrote about how human impacts on the environment in his first book, The Evolution Explosion: How Humans Cause Rapid Evolutionary Change, and more recently, how ordinary citizens can make a difference in reviving sustainable ecosystems and economies, in The Death and Life of Monterey Bay: A Story of Revival.
Through his research, writing, and conservation efforts, Steve is making us, the ordinary citizens, care more about the oceans - not just as an endless source of seafood, but a resource to preserve and treasure for generations to come.
Steve's trip to Asia including Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai is sponsored by the Nature Pacific Foundation. Their mission is to preserve, restore and protect our oceans, and bring positive, lasting changes to marine environments which we and our children shall cherish.
