- Born Los Altos, California
- Julie Packard has dedicated her career to conserving the oceans. Trained as a marine biologist, she helped found California’s world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium in the late 1970s. Since 1984, she has served as its executive director. Under Packard’s leadership, the aquarium educates the public about key threats to the world’s oceans—including overfishing and ocean plastics—and about the ocean’s role in mitigating climate change. The aquarium’s popular Seafood Watch program, begun in 1999, provides consumers with science-based recommendations for ocean-friendly seafood choices. It expanded to impact production as well, working directly with seafood producers, governments, and other partners to fight overfishing and to advocate for sustainable fishery management.
- For Packard, the ocean is a central—though overlooked—component of global health. She explains, “We depend on it for so much. The good news is that the ocean is resilient. It can recover if we act quickly.”
- Nacida en Los Altos, California
- Julie Packard ha dedicado su carrera a la conserva ción de los océanos. Esta bióloga marina cofundó el famoso Acuario de la Bahía de Monterrey, California, a fines de la década de 1970 y, desde 1984, es su directora ejecutiva. Bajo su liderato, el acuario educa al público sobre los peligros principales para los océanos (incluida la pesca excesiva y los plásticos) y cómo estos ayudan a mitigar el cambio climático. El popular programa Seafood Watch, iniciado en el acuario en 1999, ofrece recomendaciones de base científica para consumir mariscos de forma respetuo sa con el océano. El programa se ha ampliado hacia el área de producción, colaborando directamente con productores de mariscos, gobiernos y otros aliados para combatir la pesca excesiva y abogar por un manejo sostenible de la actividad pesquera.
- Packard ve el océano como componente central, aunque subestimado, de la salud del planeta: “Dependemos de él para tantas cosas. Lo bueno es que es resiliente. Puede recuperarse si actuamos con rapidez”.
