Napi’s Winter Lecture Series: Seagrass Conservation

The Center for Coastal Studies’ popular Napi’s Winter Lecture Series will resume Wednesday, January 21 at 5 pm with a talk by CCS marine ecologist Dr. Agnes Mittermayr, who will speak about the “Global Importance of Seagrass Conservation.”

Called the “forgotten ecosystem,” seagrasses play a vital role in the health of our oceans and the well-being of coastal communities. They stabilize shorelines, protect against storm surges, purify water, support rich marine biodiversity, and provide nursery grounds for fish and shellfish that sustain global fisheries.

This popular winter lecture series, historically held at Napi’s Restaurant in Provincetown, is now hosted at the Center’s Hiebert Marine Laboratory, 5 Holway Avenue, Provincetown.

This is a free event and will also be available on Zoom. Click here to register.
