ClassACT HR73 is pleased to announce a ClassACTors Learn at Lunch series focusing on Biodiversity, Climate Change and the Environment…an informal monthly zoom meeting to hear, learn from, and ask questions of members of the ClassACT Environmental Working Group and others.

Join Priscilla M. Brooks as she discusses protecting special places in the sea and in particular the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts – a biodiversity hot spot located 130 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. The talk will focus on what makes this remote marine ecosystem so unique, the diverse array of wildlife it helps protect (from deep sea corals to endangered whales, seabirds, fish, and many other species), and why it is now at risk due to recent actions aimed at reopening the area to damaging commercial fishing.
