Together, we’ll explore valuable insights into the causes and consequences of water pollution, specifically post Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Our esteemed speakers will provide the latest research and data regarding the health of our estuaries and marine ecosystems, as well as innovative solutions to safeguard our waterways, and help us gain a deeper understanding into ways individuals and communities can work together to reduce pollution, and protect our precious aquatic resources for future generations.
