The Blue Ocean Institute, established in 2003 by conservation pioneer Carl Safina, has changed its name to The Safina Center at Stony Brook University.
The name change is prompted in part by Stony Brook University’s recent establishment of the Carl Safina Endowed Research Professorship for Nature and Humanity. Blue Ocean Institute’s founder, Carl Safina, is the inaugural holder of that professorship. Additionally, the Institute is expanding its focus beyond marine environments, to certain other conservation topics that are not strictly ocean-oriented.

Hi Carl! It’s been a while. Hope you’re well during this crazy time.
I wanted to invite you to be my guest on my new Sunday show. Brunch with Bonnie is Sunday’s 11-2 on WLNG. Pick some of your favorite music. And we’ll talk about life… marine and otherwise.
Plus we’ll feed you!
I’m booking for July. If you’re around maybe July 5… 12…? Guests are coming to the studio keeping socially distant. Studio is sanitized daily.
Please let me know.
I look forward to seeing you.
And I have a mask for you. ?
Best.
