chips be used to clean up our groundwater?”</span></b>
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="COLOR: black"></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">On Thursday, March 22, at 7:00 pm, Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve’s Community Coffee House Series: Research at the Reserve continues with
</span><span style="COLOR: black">“Wastewater problems on Cape Cod: Can wood chips be used to clean up our groundwater?”
</span><span style="COLOR: black">The featured speaker will be Dr. Ken Foreman, researcher at the Ecosystems Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory. For the past six years, Dr. Foreman, several of his colleagues at the MBL Ecosystems Center, and their students,
have been testing an innovative strategy for cleaning up nutrient pollution in Cape Cod bays. Two of these systems, called Permeable Reactive barriers, were installed at the shoreline of Waquoit Bay several years ago.
</span><span style="COLOR: black">What is the principle behind them, how well do they work, what are the potential benefits and what are the problems? How long might they last and how expensive would they be to build? In this talk Dr. Foreman will report
on what they’ve learned so far and discuss how such barriers might be part of the solution for cleaning up Cape Cod’s coastal ponds.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Each Thursday evening during the last three weeks of March, a different scientist will discuss their research at the Waquoit Bay Reserve. In addition to explaining the research they’re doing, they will include
personal anecdotes on how they did the science and how they feel their research will make a difference to those sitting in the audience. This series was created to help expose community members to cutting edge science in a relaxed and informal way. The interactive
coffee house format helps people feel equally comfortable asking questions and joining in the discussion or just sitting back and listening to the scientists’ stories of their work.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Doors open at 6:45 pm with a chance to view the exhibits in the visitor center and sample some homemade sweets and coffee and tea. Participants are encouraged to bring their own mug.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Admission is free. For more information, call 508-457-0495 x 107 or 108. Waquoit Bay Reserve is located at 149 Waquoit Highway (route 28), Waquoit, Massachusetts.
