FALL LECTURE SERIES: Hudson River Water Quality
Ferry Sloops’ 2015 Fall Lecture Series kicks-off on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 7:30pm, with “Hudson River Water Quality: Moving from Monitoring to Action” presented by Dan Shapley of Riverkeeper and Ossining High School students.
Come learn about the results of water quality monitoring projects conducted by Riverkeeper and its partners, including Ossining High School, where students and teachers are sampling the beach at Engel Waterfront Park in Ossining. The audience will learn about results that can inform decision-making about when and where to swim, as well as actions that we can take to improve water quality.
