Dr. Noah Wilson-Rich, founder and chief scientific officer, The Best Bees Company, and Dr. Randi Rotjan, associate scientist, New England Aquarium, discuss how the 'green' and 'blue' movements have aligned goals and mutual interests.

The urban gardening movement is well aware of the importance of pollinators, native plants and water conservation, but the oceans are not a regular part of the conversation.

The story is the same (but reversed) for ocean enthusiasts, who are well versed in issues of water conservation, pollution and overfishing, but the terrestrial environment is often ignored.

Here's a chance to finally talk about both the bees and the seas--how the 'green' and 'blue' movements have aligned goals and mutual interests.

It may come as a surprise, but most of the actions needed to promote honeybee pollinators are the same actions necessary for healthy oceans.

Come find out why, and your local honey will taste twice as sweet.

The Aquarium Lecture Series is presented free to the public through the generosity of the Lowell Institute, which has been providing funding for free public lectures at universities and museums since 1836.

Registration is requested.

All programs start at 7 p.m. in the Aquarium's IMAX Theatre unless otherwise noted.
