The Plains All American Pipeline Spill provided a harsh reminder that oil
exploration, production, and transport along our coast can have
significant impacts on the environment, economy, and community. While
federal, state, and local agencies, non-profits, and scientists are
working to ensure we are better prepared for future spills, it is
important for our community to be informed, engaged, and empowered to
participate in this process.
Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural
History are co-hosting a six-part speaker series that will address how
Santa Barbara is moving forward after the oil spill. Experts will present
on each topic (themes listed below), followed by a brief question and
answer period moderated by Karl Hutterer.
Each session will take place at Farrand Hall at the Santa Barbara Museum
of Natural History from 6pm-8pm. Admission is free.
