Meeting Room

Dr. Douglas McCauley, a professor at UC Santa Barbara, will provide a brief history of human use of our seas and will share a view of what the future may bring for our oceans. For adults.

The Malibu Library Speaker Series presents ocean scientist and UC Santa Barbara professor Dr. Douglas McCauley at Malibu Library on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at 7 pm. Registration is required. Register online or call Malibu Library at 310.456.6438.

Dr. McCauley’s work on oceans has been featured in the New York Times, National Public Radio, and Time. He has researched topics ranging from manta rays, to bumphead parrotfish, to shark spotting drones, to AI for whales. He is a Sloan Research Fellow in the Ocean Sciences and a member of the World Economic Forum’s ocean team.

Business is booming in the sea. New ocean industries are coming online every day: we are building underwater power plants, factory farms for fish, desalination facilities along our coastlines, and undersea mines. Some of this activity may bring us things we want—clean energy, new jobs, and more nutritious food. But it will also create big new challenges for people and ocean wildlife. Dr. McCauley will provide a brief history of human use of our seas and
will share a view of what the future may bring for our oceans.

This event will take place at Malibu Library. Registration is required. Register online or call Malibu Library at 310.456.6438.

Since 2013, the Malibu Library Speaker Series, a program of the Malibu Library, part of LA County Library, and the City of Malibu, has featured experts, authors, and other notable figures discussing a wide range of subjects, including the entertainment industry, literature, science, motivation, the arts, education, sports, travel, food, and the environment.

About the branch

Malibu Library, located in the Malibu Civic Center Complex, was established in 1970 by the County of Los Angeles Public Library. Prior to 1970, a bookmobile provided library service to the Malibu community serving residents in Topanga Canyon and along the Pacific Coast Highway.

On April 22, 2012, a grand opening celebration was held to mark the completion of a $6 million renovation of the Malibu Library, designed by the architectural firm of LPA, Inc. and funded by revenue generated from local property taxes.

The new sustainable, LEED-certified library has been redesigned to represent Malibu's sand, sea and sun culture with features such as:

-A replica of the Adamson House tile rug in the main lobby
-A photographic exhibit featuring historical images of the area
-The Children's area featuring a marine life motif, including an 8' by 14' porcelain tile art piece designed by artist Christine Nguyen
-A Teen area that embraces Malibu's surf culture.
