The talk will take place on Thursday\, July 16\, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at SBMM.

Working closely with local communities\, scientists\, and conservation partners\, the organization focuses on holistic restoration to bring back biodiversity\, the foundation of all healthy sustainable ecosystems benefitting both terrestrial and marine environments. \nDuring the presentation\, Sachs will provide an overview of Island Conservation’s global initiatives and the organization’s measurable impact across island ecosystems. She will highlight projects that demonstrate how island restoration contributes to healthier oceans\, improved climate resilience\, and stronger biodiversity outcomes. The talk will include a special focus on conservation efforts connected to California’s Channel Islands and sites of maritime significance\, offering regional context for the global work being undertaken. \n“Island ecosystems are deeply connected to the health of our oceans\, and their restoration creates ripple effects that benefit both wildlife and coastal communities\,” said Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Dean Noble. “Jennifer Sachs brings an inspiring global perspective that highlights how science\, innovation\, and collaboration can protect marine environments for future generations.” \nJennifer Sachs brings more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership\, development\, and communications. She holds a degree in Environmental Conservation from the University of Colorado at Boulder and began her career as a park ranger before moving into development roles with leading organizations including The Marine Mammal Center\, LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired\, and On Lok Senior Programs. Her work reflects a deep commitment to connecting people with environmental stewardship and conservation solutions. \nIsland restoration is increasingly recognized as a powerful strategy for protecting endangered species and strengthening ecosystem resilience\, as island habitats often support unique wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Through innovative technologies and collaborative partnerships\, Island Conservation continues to advance solutions that benefit biodiversity\, marine ecosystems\, and communities worldwide. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. \nThe Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series brings leading voices in ocean science\, maritime history\, and environmental stewardship to the Santa Barbara community\, reinforcing SBMM’s mission to illuminate our connections to the sea through education and storytelling. The Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series is sponsored by Marie L Morrisroe.
