November 6, 2019—Join us for this free presentation by Dr. Craig Downs, one of the leading international experts on sunscreen pollution and marine environments. Increased tourism can result in harm to local ecological resources such as coral reefs, especially when not properly managed. More visitors means greater use of sunscreens and other personal care products, resulting in pollution of not just beach waters, but wide expanses of coastlines. What are the chemicals that are toxic to wildlife and people, and how do they degrade our ecological resources? What concentrations do we find these chemicals in the environment, and at what levels do they pose a threat?
