SUMMARY:Evening @ Skidaway program examines microplastic pollution on Georgia’s coast
DESCRIPTION:Plastic pollution in the environment has become a major problem in the last several decades. In addition to the easily visible plastic debris\, smaller pieces of plastic\, termed microplastics\, are found nearly everywhere and interact with organisms at the base of aquatic food chains. There are more than a trillion microplastic particles and fibers in Georgia’s coastal waters alone\, according to an estimate by a team of researchers at the University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. These microplastics are ingested by local marine organisms\, with uncertain health effects. \nA microscopic view of a microfiber. \nUniversity of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography scientist Jay Brandes has been investigating microplastic pollution on the Georgia coast and will present an Evening @ Skidaway program to discuss both the longer term trends in plastic pollution as well as what reasonable steps might be taken to reduce it in our local environment. The program will be presented on Tuesday\, October 9\, in the McGowan Library on the University of Georgia Skidaway Marine Science Campus (10 Ocean Science Circle\, Savannah\, GA 31411).The event will begin with a reception at 6:15 p.m.\, followed by the program at 7 p.m. \nPlastic pollution in the environment has become a major problem in the last several decades.

SUMMARY:Skidaway Marine Science Day October 13
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon of activities\, tours and talks will make Skidaway Marine Science Day a can’t-miss event for all ages on Saturday\, Oct. 13\, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the University of Georgia Skidaway Marine Science Campus\, located on the north end of the island (10 Ocean Science Circle\, Savannah\, Ga. 31411). The campus-wide open house will be presented by the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography\, UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant\, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary. \nTours of UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography’s Research Vessel Savannah are a popular activity at Skidaway Marine Science Day. \nThe UGA Aquarium\, run by Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant\, will be open to visitors with no admission fee. Aquarium educators will offer visitors an afternoon full of activities\, including a hands-on reptile exhibit\, behind-the-scenes peeks of the aquarium\, fish feedings and microscope investigations. A touch tank exhibit will allow guests of all ages to get up close and personal with common coastal invertebrates such as spider crabs\, whelks and horseshoe crabs. \nVisitors will also have the opportunity to meet the aquarium’s newest temporary resident\, a loggerhead hatchling that was discovered in early August as a straggler in a nest on Ossabaw Island by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. \nThis loggerhead sea turtle was hatched in early August. \nThe hatchling will reside at the UGA Aquarium as an education ambassador for roughly three years before being released. Visit the hatchling during Skidaway Marine Science Day by picking up a free ticket for a behind-the-scenes tour\, available in the aquarium lobby. \nThe UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography’s 92-foot oceangoing Research Vessel Savannah will be open for tours and will exhibit science displays. Elsewhere on campus\, Skidaway Institute will present a variety of marine science exhibits and hands-on science activities. \nThe UGA Shellfish Laboratory research team will offer behind-the-scenes tours of Georgia’s only oyster hatchery. The hatchery is also a part of UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant\, a unit of UGA Public Service and Outreach. Researchers hope the oyster hatchery will make the Georgia oyster aquaculture a more durable and sustainable coastal industry. \nAlong with the campus organizations\, Skidaway Marine Science Day will also include displays\, demonstrations and activities from a wide range of nonprofit and governmental science\, environmental and education groups\, such as The Dolphin Project\, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center and the Savannah Wildlife Refuge. \nFor the second year\, Skidaway Marine Science Day will also feature food trucks from the Savannah Food Truck Festival. \nAll admissions and activities at Skidaway Marine Science Day are free and open to the public. For additional information\, call 912-598-2325\, or see www.skio.uga.edu.
