Description
Join Kerstin Wasson, Research Coordinator at the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and Adjunct Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC, for an engaging talk about the remarkable species and habitat diversity of Elkhorn Slough and how our many human-induced changes to the watershed have threatened this important ecosystem. Wasson will provide a photo-tour of estuarine diversity, threats, and conservation at Elkhorn Slough. She will then highlight in more depth one example, the science of native oyster restoration at the estuary. Find out what oysters have taught us about effects of human activities, about climate change, about the importance of experiments, and about how volunteers can make a difference in restoration. Science Sunday is free with admission and is offered on the third Sunday of every month.More Info
