Panel Discussion: What’s Happening to Water Quality in Florida?Florida Atlantic's Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series invites you to a panel discussion with leading experts and live audience Q&A.Water quality is of critical importance to many facets of life, including environmental and human health, recreation, agriculture, tourism, fisheries, and property values. Florida is at the forefront of many of the national and global pressures that can result in degraded water quality. Among these are nutrient, plastics, and other pollution into watersheds and the oceans, ocean warming and acidification, changes in land use associated with increased runoff and environmental damage, extreme climate events, sea level rise and saltwater intrusion, harmful algal blooms and other ecotoxicity in waters, seagrass and coral die offs, and more. This panel discussion, hosted by the Florida Atlantic Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, will review the current state of water quality issues in the state of Florida and the responses to them.About Frontiers in ScienceWelcome to the 2024 Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series, hosted by the Florida Atlantic University Charles E.
