Lunch Chat with Dan Whittle, Director of EDF's Caribbean Initiatives

March 05, 2020 • 12:30 PM • Law School 4055

Join the Environmental Law Society for a conversation with Dan Whittle, Senior Director of Caribbean Initiatives at the Environmental Defense Fund. With experts and leaders in Cuba, Dan works to develop collaborative fisheries management, coral reef conservation, and sustainable coastal development in Cuba and the region. Dan's work also involves efforts to build a more resilient energy grid in Puerto Rico. This lunch chat is an extension of a symposium at the Nicholas School called the Value of Water, and it will give students with a variety of backgrounds an opportunity to ask Dan about the various ways that ocean and coastal resources are affected by and contribute to sustainable development. This event is co-sponsored by the Food Law Society, the Latin American Law Students Association, the International Law Society and the Government and Public Service Society. Lunch will be served.
