Science Seminars for Our Community

Please join us for Science After Hours—talks from Horn Point Laboratory scientists on current environmental topics presented at the Easton Branch of Talbot County Free Library, 100 W. Dover St. 

Monday, April 29, 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Dr. Tom Fisher will give a talk titled "Good news for the Choptank: Improving water quality in the estuary!”

The Choptank estuary station near the Rt 50 bridge is showing improvements in water quality primarily due to upgrades in wastewater plants in the Choptank Basin, but that is not the whole picture.  Join us to explore the many factors impacting improvements in water quality in the Choptank estuary.
