How's the Water Today? Changes in Water Quality at the Land-Sea Interface

Human beings have been curious about the oceans since they first walked along their shores. We increasingly rely on the oceans as a source of food, energy, natural products, and recreation. While the oceans are vast, human populations can and do have a direct impact on the health and quality of both our inland watersheds and coastal ocean. Come learn about the changes, both positive and negative, that scientists have been documenting in Monterey Bay and the greater California coast, and what we as concerned citizens and scientists can do to preserve our coastal water quality.
