In celebration of Oceans Day on June 6th, CPAWS Nova Scotia Chapter is 
pleased to have Dr. Ransom Myers as our guest speaker at our AGM on 
Saturday, June 4th.

Dr. Myers holds the Killam Chair of Ocean Studies at Dalhousie University. 
Dr. Myers' current, major research is on extinction in the ocean. In recent 
papers published in Nature and Science, he has shown dramatic declines in 
the populations of large, predatory fish since the start of industrial 
fishing in the 1950s. Dr. Myers has carried out fundamental work on the 
causes of the collapse of fish stocks, in particular, the cod stocks in 
Eastern Canada. Recently, this work has turned to models of extinction, 
which is a growing concern in the marine environment.
