Description of the event: 

Deep Dive – accessing the sea with Science, Education and Art (SEA)
8th Haifa Conference on Mediterranean Sea Research 

The seas and oceans cover 70% of the planet and are critical resources for humanity. Responsibly harnessing the seas and oceans while conserving them for future generations requires a deep understanding of the oceans and, potentially, necessitates major changes in how we (as humanity) interact with them.

How do we form a bond between people and the sea? What is the role of maritime education and outreach? Do we need to forge an emotional bond (“a love for the sea”), and what are the roles of scientists, artists and educators in forging this bond? How can we engage different communities, creatively overcoming cultural, technological and financial barriers?
On July 14-15, 2021, the SEA conference will take place at the University of Haifa, along the Israeli coasts and remotely (online). SEA will focus on the many ways in which the worlds of science, education and art can come together with respect to the seas and oceans.
