Forest of the Sea Book Talk with The Bay Foundation

Join us for an evening with author David Helvarg and The Bay Foundation CEO Tom Ford in discussion of Helvarg's book, Forest of the Sea!

For readers who know kelp only as tangles on the ocean surface or smelly mounds of seaweed
littering beaches, Forest of the Sea reveals a thriving three-dimensional underwater world of
color and beauty whose loss if allowed to happen will reverberate in unimaginable ways for both
nature and humans. Author David Helvarg, a veteran journalist and accomplished scuba diver,
takes us on a memorable journey beneath the waves through kelp’s natural and human history,
the billions of dollars of products and services it contributes to our global economy, the unwitting
human activities that threaten its survival, and the hopeful movements around the world to
restore kelp habitat.

We will have beverages available as well as a chance-to-win drawing with all proceeds going towards The Bay Foundation! 

Doors open at 5:30 PM and discussion begins at 6 PM 

We look forward to seeing you there!
