Conservation management strategies that fail to take into consideration concepts of ecological connectivity can lead to unintended consequences.
In this lecture, Dr. Mark Carr, Professor of Marine Ecology, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz, will explain the concepts of ecological connectivity and its implications for how we develop conservation and management strategies in coastal marine ecosystems.
