Tuesday Talks Debut at Maritime Center
November 23, 2014 –The Port Royal Sound Foundation (PRSF) will host the first lecture in its Tuesday Talks classroom series this Tuesday, November 25, at the newly opened Maritime Center. Dr. Geoffrey Scott will present “What Makes the Coastal Lowcountry Unique and What You Can Do to Protect It.” Dr. Scott is a well renowned authority on the interplay between human activities and their subsequent effects on water quality. Current Chair of USC’s Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Dr. Scott will speak on the importance of keeping our coastal waterways clean and healthy, addressing the importance of each individual’s vigilance in protecting our fragile ecosystems. His presentation will show how, with everyone’s participation, our waters can be kept safe for recreation and safe harvesting of aquatic resources.
