The Shore Thing: Let’s Talk Seagrass
June 1 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
The Town of Duck and the Town of Southern Shores are partnering to host a community engagement and educational seminar focused on the seagrass accumulation occurring along the soundside. The event will take place on Monday, June 1, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Pitts Center (5377 N Virginia Dare Trail) in Southern Shores.
The seminar will begin with a presentation by Sean Charles, Research Assistant Scientist & Professor from the Coastal Studies Institute (CSI), who will discuss seagrass, its role in the ecosystem, and the environmental impacts associated with current accumulation levels. Following the presentation, Sandy Cross and Cliff Ogburn will moderate a panel discussion featuring environmental experts and regulators, including Ron Renaldi, David May, George Wood, Doug Doorman, and others.
Community members are encouraged to participate by submitting questions in advance of the meeting. The panel will address questions, concerns, and community feedback during the discussion.
