Registration required: a zoom link will be sent to you before the presentation.
Join us each week for an informal evening learning about innovative research happening around Waquoit Bay.

Each session you will meet a local scientist who will share how they do their research, what they are discovering, and how it applies to today’s issues. There will be ample time for questions and discussion.

Carbon-based Permeable Reactive Barriers: What does the Future Hold for Curing the Nutrient Problem in Cape Cod’s Estuaries?

HYBRID: In-person & Virtual

Thursday, March 23
6:30PM - 8:00PM
Groundwater delivers excess nutrients (chiefly from wastewater) to Waquoit Bay and other Cape salt ponds degrading water quality in these ecosystems. Reductions in these nutrient inputs have been mandated by the Commonwealth for more than 30 estuaries on Cape Cod. How will we achieve these reductions? The standard approach is diversion of wastewater to sewers and a centralized treatment facility. What if we could intercept and remove some of the nitrates, the major nutrient affecting water quality, within the aquifer using carbon-based “Permeable Reactive Barriers” (PRB’s)? In 2005, Dr. Foreman oversaw the installation of a pair of test barriers at the shores of the Waquoit Bay system and since then several other test PRB’s have been installed on the Cape. Do the PRB’s work? How long might they last? What are the possible advantages (and disadvantages) of this approach compared to sewers?

Deoxygenation, Acidification and Warming in Waquoit Bay

HYBRID - In-person & Virtual

Thursday, March 30
6:30PM - 8:00PM
Waquoit Bay Reserve has been tracking long-term trends in water quality since the 1990s. Dr. Mathew Long, WHOI, and Jordan Mora, APCC, (formerly of WBNERR) analyzed the past two decades of data. This presentation will reveal trends in Waquoit Bay oxygen levels, acidification, temperature, and algae/phytoplankton composition that may have future indications for other estuaries, as the Northeastern U.S. is one of the fastest warming regions across the world.
Dr. Matthew Long, Associate Scientist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
