A 2\,650 acre campus in the West/Rhode River watershed provides the perfect setting for the long term study of coastal ecosystems where the Air\, Land and Water come together on the largest coastal estuary in the United States. For more than half a century\, SERC scientists have taken on environmental issues on the Chesapeake Bay and around the world and uncovered new ways to protect the planet. Among the most pressing issues being studied are water quality\, fisheries\, invasive species\, conservation\, impacts of CO2 and Mercury\, land use and climate change. Come hear highlights of SERC’s research in this session led by Cate Bower and Bruce Ogden\, SERC Docents and members of the SERC Director’s Circle\, who will provide insight into some of the SERC research projects and the lessons that have been learned. \nAbout the Speakers:\nCate Bower has lived in West River since 1994; she retired in 2017 after more than 40 years of working with nonprofits.  In retirement she has focused on environmental and community issues.

Cate is also the Vice Chair of the Arundel Rivers Federation\, a former Chair of SERC’s Director’s Circle and a Docent at SERC. \nBruce Ogden has been sailing and cruising on the Chesapeake Bay since moving to the area from Chicago over 30 years ago. Bruce is past Commodore of the West River Sailing Club\, a member of the Antique and Classic Boat Society and is the co-founder of the Maryland Maritime Heritage Foundation.
