SUMMARY:Lemon Bay Coastal Seminar Series: Saving Seagrass to Save the World
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jim Fourqurean\, Distinguished University Professor; Associate Director\, Institute of Environment\, Florida International University: “Saving Seagrass to Save the World”.  Dr. Fourquerean has spent decades studying the critical role seagrass meadows play in our global ecosystem.  Seagrasses are often called “lungs of the seas”\, but they are also one of our most potent weapons against climate change.  Seagrasses are under threat.  Join us to learn about the current state of Florida’s seagrass beds and what we can do to protect these “hidden forests” for future generations. \nImage courtesy of Creative Commons. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/ \n\n\nJoin us for this free\, public seminar.  Refreshments at 5:30.  Presentation begins at 6:00.

SUMMARY:Coastal Water Quality: The Roles of Septic Systems\, Advanced Water Treatment\, Reclaimed Water\, and Stormwater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free talk on May 8th as University of Florida professor Dr. Mary Lusk discusses how different water sources can influence our coastal water quality. \nThe seminar will cover: \n\nSeptic systems: Friend or foe? Unveiling the hidden impacts on our coastal waters.\nAdvanced Wastewater Treatment: Exploring innovative solutions for cleaner\, healthier ecosystems.\nReclaimed Water: Is it safe? Is there a catch?\nStormwater Ponds:  How can we reduce potential impacts on coastal water quality?\n\nCome discover the science behind healthy waterways\, explore cutting-edge wastewater treatment solutions\, and learn how YOU can make a difference.  Whether you’re a homeowner\, a government official\, or simply a concerned citizen\, this seminar is for you! Come learn how we can work together to safeguard Florida’s water future. \nDr. Lusk is one of the foremost experts on nutrients and how they move through the environment.  She has contributed as an author to more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific publications on nutrient related topics ranging from septic system environmental impacts to wastewater treatment and reclaimed water. \nDr. Lusk’s presentation will include discussion of recent findings from UF researchers regarding rapid growth of red tide blooms when exposed to nutrients from reclaimed water and stormwater.  (Read more in this article: www.wusf.org/environment/2023-09-22/stormwater-ponds-and-reclaimed-water-use-feed-toxic-red-tide-algae-blooms-florida-researchers-findStormwater Ponds and Reclaimed Water Feed Toxic Red Tide Blooms.) \nHere is a video featuring Dr. Lusk: https://www.fox13news.com/video/1000008 \nDon’t miss this fascinating session! \nDate: Wednesday May 8th \nTime: 5:30 PM refreshments\, 6:00 PM seminar followed by Q&A \nLocation: Cape Haze Community Center\, 180 Spyglass Alley\, Placida\, FL 33946 \nDirections:  the Cape Haze Community Center is located at 180 Spyglass Alley\, Placida\, FL 33946\, at the intersection of Spyglass Alley and Spaniards Road.
