Although the open ocean may seem far away, it plays a powerful role in shaping our coastal ecosystems. This program will explore the connections between offshore and coastal waters, addressing questions such as: What separates the open ocean from the coast? How do offshore waters reach our shorelines and estuaries? And how do changes in the open ocean affect fisheries and coastal ecosystems? Join us to discover the hidden paths beneath the waves and how the open ocean shapes our coastal waters.
