After The Spill: Oil Speaker Series


The Plains All American Pipeline Spill provided a 
harsh reminder that oil exploration, production, 
and transport along our coast can have 
significant impacts on the environment, economy, 
and community. While federal, state, and local 
agencies, non-profits, and scientists are working 
to ensure we are better prepared for future 
spills, it is important for our community to be 
informed, engaged, and empowered to participate in this process.


Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the Santa Barbara 
Museum of Natural History are co-hosting a 
six-part speaker series that will address how 
Santa Barbara is moving forward after the oil 
spill. Experts will present on each topic (themes 
listed below), followed by a brief question and 
answer period moderated by Karl Hutterer.

Each session will take place at Farrand Hall at 
the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History from 6pm-8pm. Admission is free.
