Let’s Talk Science - The Water Quality of Puget Sound: Findings and Implications 

This program on water quality is by Dr. Taylor Martin, an oceanographer from King County. Dr. Martin describes the state of the water in Puget Sound, focusing on the Central Basin. She will provide details about a carefully outfitted buoy which, for fifteen years, has collected data on Puget Sound water and atmospheric conditions every 15 minutes, including information about the “ghost shrimp” and phytoplankton, whose numbers and health are key to the entire food chain. This promises to be an interesting and informative presentation, with a Q&A.
