In this talk, Jeremy Jackson describes studies that he and a team of scientists conducted exploring historical, human-caused changes to various marine ecosystems (kelp forests, sea grass beds, coral reefs, and estuaries). This historical analysis helps us understand ecosystems today. A highlight of the talk is the presentation of a new short film called Rediagnosing the Oceans, co-written by Jackson.
