SPEAKER – GARY LINKER
 
Gary Linker moved to Santa Barbara in 1972.  He is the current Clinical Director of the Center for Successful Aging and also an active member of the community.  He has a great philosophy emphasizing that it is not easy being a senior.  But with aging, a new level of maturity can be achieved and most importantly should bring “Inner Peace”.  When we’re young we plant seeds and throughout our lives we water those seeds and eventually we harvest our seeds.  We need to take time and see what we’ve harvest with our accomplishments and the impact we have made.
 
The Center for Successful Aging helps seniors in our community age with dignity and care. The following are some of their programs:
 
  • Hot meal delivery
  • Support group sessions
  • Peer group sessions
  • Daily check-in calls
 
With a compassionate ear and a helpful hand, our senior peer counseling and support programs help seniors who are feeling lonely or isolated, who need support in handling loss or challenging situations, and who are looking for guidance in finding the right resources.  Their contact number is (805) 898-8080.
 
                                                                                                                                                                       
 
President de Mangeon reminds us that our next meeting will be on February 16 via ZOOM.  We won’t have  an in-person meeting until Dr. Steve Young feels it is safe!  A board of directors meeting is also scheduled for February 9th.

Kim Selkoe
Director, FishSB
Dr. Kim Selkoe hails from the Boston area where she took scuba diving lessons as a young girl. She studied Biology in college and received her PhD in Marine Biology from UCSB.  She is the first director of FishSB, a joint initiative of the SB Region Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara. Her goal is to increase interest in local seafood and to protect and increase the economic health of fisheries. 
 She will also be working to dispel much of the misinformation surrounding seafood, such as unfounded fears about the impacts of the Refugio Oil Spill, which never reached far enough offshore to affect commercial fisheries, and domoic acid levels in crabs.  Funding for this project has been obtained with a settlement grant from Plains.
Some interesting facts she pointed out:
Seafood is the primary source of protein for 1 billion people in the world.
Locally about 150 boats bring in 11 million pounds of 30 species of seafood, 95% of which goes to LA for processing and distribution.  The seafood industry has the lowest carbon emitter ratios, almost 9 times less than beef.
California has the strictest marine protected area regulations in the world, but they appear to be working.
Two main upcoming plans are (1) Maritime Community Sustainability Plan to create more thriving coastal economy for Santa Barbara, and (2) Santa Barbara Fish Hub to increase access to healthy local seafood. She hopes to reboot the Saturday Fisherman’s Market and the pier across from Brophy Bros. 
 
Lots of very interesting questions and answers.  Great program.
