Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at Emmanuel Parish Hall
— from the SeaDoc Society —
Scientist and educator Timothy Dwyer will speak on October 13 to kick off SeaDoc/Camp Orkila’s annual Marine Science Lecture series. A teacher at the Spring Street International School, Dwyer was recently selected as a 2015 Science Communication Fellow for the Ocean Exploration Trust. Just this past month he sailed with the Corps of Exploration on the E/V Nautilus to explore the Salish Sea and the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate.
Fresh from his trip, Dwyer will share his experience of ocean exploration. He’ll be talking about how deep diving remotely-operated vehicles resist extreme pressure, how invertebrates make their living at hydrothermal vents in the Earth’s crust, and even about how fast small scavengers in the Salish Sea can skeletonize a pig’s carcass.
Join us at 7 pm on Tuesday, October 13 at the Emmanuel Parish Hall in Eastsound. There will be coffee, tea, and snacks. As always, the event is free thanks to our generous sponsors!
This year’s lecture series is produced by SeaDoc and YMCA Camp Orkila, sponsored by Tom & Nate Averna of Deer Harbor Charters, Barbara Brown, West Sound Marina, Dean & Audrey Stupke, Martha Wyckoff in honor of Lee Rolfe, and the WWW Foundation (Bryce and Sue Rhodes), and co-sponsored by Barbara Bentley and Glenn Prestwich.
