GSO Public Lecture Series: Confronting Ocean Pollution
Coastal Institute Auditorium
URI Narragansett Bay Campus
218 South Ferry Road
Narragansett, Rhode Island
Join us for the first of the spring Graduate School of Oceanography Public Lecture Series!
Scientists continue to learn how plastic waste and dangerous chemicals make their way into the ocean environment and harm marine life. What and how are we learning about these issues? Where does this pollution come from? Where does it go? Coastal Resources Center director and GSO professor J.P. Walsh and GSO professor Rainer Lohmann discuss the dangers posed by marine pollution and “forever chemicals,” called PFAS, as well as what we need to do to address them.
