The Vineyard Haven Library is pleased to welcome Dr. Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser for a presentation on shipwrecks and what they can teach us about the ocean and the environment. This event will be held at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 21st at the Katharine Cornell Theatre, located at 51 Spring Street in Vineyard Haven (above Tisbury Town Hall). Free and open to the public.

There are 3 million shipwrecks worldwide, which serve as habitats for marine animals. In this presentation, Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser will show how her research on shipwreck communities helps us understand human impacts on the environment and plan for a more sustainable ocean. Free and open to the public. No registration required.
Dr. Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser is an Assistant Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
