The Oregon Coastal and Ocean Information Network (OCOIN) is hosting its 5^th annual virtual webinar on Thursday, Oct. 21.  The audience is primarily ocean and coastal professionals, who can network through the event, but members of the public with a serious interest in science can listen in.  There will be speakers drawn from the science, policy, and management sectors, and discussion about the ocean science-to-ocean policy link.  The them is “Interdisciplinarity and the Science to Policy Process.”

Lead speaker will be Lorenzo Ciannelli, who will speak about the differences between inter-, multi-, and trans-disciplinary approaches to team projects and how this affects ocean and coastal science.  Dr. Ciannelli is a professor at Oregon State University.  His main research interest in fisheries oceanography:  the study of how ocean physical and biogeochemical processes affect fish populations and communities.
