Sunday, February 11, 2006, 5:00 pm, Raphael D. Sagarin, Ph.D., Remembering the Gulf: Changes in the Sea of Cortez since Steinbeck and Ricketts' 1940 Expedition

One of the most well-known biological expeditions is the 1940 trip to the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) by author John Steinbeck and his close friend Edward F. Ricketts, a professional biologist. Steinbeck and Ricketts visited 20 tidepool sites spread across the Gulf and made extensive collections while taking notes on the fauna and natural history of the region.

In 2004 Raphael retraced the Steinbeck and Ricketts journey, visiting the same sites during the same time of year. Using the extensive scientific and literary records made by Steinbeck and Ricketts as a historical baseline, they were able to show massive ecological changes to Sea of Cortez since 1940. These changes affect the tidepool and open water species as well as the coastal human communities of Mexico. Steinbeck and Ricketts were ahead of their time in terms of thinking about the connections between all aspects of a natural system. By putting their work in historical and global context, we can see how changes to the Sea of Cortez are directly tied to devastating changes scientists are observing throughout the Earth's oceans.

Raphael Sagarin, Ph.D., is Associate Director for Ocean and Coastal Policy at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University
