He's talking about the ways communities can collaborate on combating climate change. And those activities will be the focus of a brand-new course which the Aquarium is offering, this autumn, in partnership with Orange Coast College. Entitled "Ocean Conservation and Community Science", the course is geared towards high-school students.
