[SEMCO] Free Workshop; Solutions to Nitrogen Pollution: Solving the Cranberry Puzzle

[Robert Hancock]

The Buzzards Bay Coalition will be hosting a *free workshop on Tuesday
April 14* to discuss new research to better understand the amount of
nitrogen flowing in and out of cranberry bogs. Here are the details:



*Solutions to Nitrogen Pollution: Solving the Cranberry Puzzle*



*Tuesday, April 14 • 4-6pm • Wareham Town Hall*



Most of the Bay’s nitrogen pollution comes from wastewater, including
septic systems and wastewater treatment plants. Other land sources include
lawns, farm fields, and stormwater runoff. But there’s another piece of the
nitrogen pollution puzzle that’s been harder to pinpoint: cranberry bogs.



This workshop will share new and ongoing research by scientists and
cranberry growers to better understand the potential impact of cranberry
bogs on local water quality and discuss emerging ideas about bog management
techniques that might reduce or eliminate those impacts.
