Dr. Rod Salm, the director of the Nature Conservancy's Asia Pacific Coastal Marine Program, will talk about "The Coral Triangle: A Haven of Hope in a Climate Challenged Time" at Bishop Museum at 4 p.m. Friday.

The Nature Conservancy has invested heavily in developing and applying nature-based adaptation responses to climate change in tropical seas. Salm will introduce the conservancy's climate change resilience concepts and activities, ending with an introduction to the museum's program in the Coral Triangle — which encompasses the Sulu and Sulawesi seas and is surrounded by Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines — and why it is a good place to anchor Indo-Pacific coral reef conservation efforts.

The talk is part of Bishop Museum's Research Seminar Series, a monthly forum held on the second Saturday of each month.
