This program will explore how climate change is affecting fisheries and marine ecosystems in Virginia and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.

Kate Wilke, Director of the Mid-Atlantic Seascape for The Nature Conservancy, and Chris Moore, Virginia Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, will discuss the challenges facing coastal and marine resources, the implications for local communities, and opportunities to promote more resilient, sustainable fisheries. The conversation will highlight collaborative approaches to conservation, informed policy development, and long-term strategies to protect both ecosystems and livelihoods.
