SUMMARY:Plastic Paradox
DESCRIPTION:Plastic provides a real paradox in the world of material science. It is incredibly strong\, but without the mass that similar strength materials usually possess. In addition\, it is very moldable and can be contorted into a myriad of commonplace\, super-utilitarian items. The versatility and durability of plastic allow it to be used in place of a myriad of natural materials\, but these same features make it an environmental bane. This webinar will explore this paradox and what it means for waters. \nClick here to register. \nPresenter: Sherri (Sam) Mason\, director\, Gannon University Project NePTWNE

SUMMARY:Road Salt-focused Education Trip on Lake Champlain for Municipal Staff and Local Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Tuesday\, September 1\, from 2:30–4:30 PM. \nLocation: 3 College St\, Burlington\, VT (on the south side of the Rubenstein Ecosystem Sciences/ECHO building). Please note that parking there requires an hourly payment. \nCost: $30 for municipal leaders; free for road foremen \nLake Champlain Sea Grant is hosting a unique trip aboard the R/V Marcelle Melosira for municipal staff and board members. The trip is designed to bring together municipal road foremen and crews with selectboard and conservation commission members and other community leaders for an exchange of knowledge related to sustainable winter road salting practices. We will also talk about water quality and how road salt can impact life in streams and lakes.  \nEach participant is encouraged to bring along a sample of water from a local stream\, pond\, or lake near where they live. During the excursion on Lake Champlain\, each person will test their water sample to assess its electrical conductivity. This can be used to estimate how much chloride is in the water\, much of which comes from road salt spread in the winter months. Participants will also sample from Lake Champlain and measure its electrical conductivity\, and will have the option to collect zooplankton (tiny organisms that live suspended in the water).  \nRegistration is on a first-come\, first-served basis. All participants must be in close-toed shoes to board the boat. \nClick here to register\n— \nIf you require an accommodation related to a disability\, please contact Accessibility Services at least 2 weeks prior to your selected date by emailing access@uvm.edu and copying seagrant@uvm.edu\, or calling (802) 656-7753. \nCancellations must be made more than 1 week before the trip so we can allow someone from the waitlist to participate. Email cancellations to seagrant@uvm.edu. \nIf the boat is not able to sail due to weather conditions and the event is canceled\, you will be notified via email. The Staff and boat Captain will do their best to make a decision within 12 hours of the trip.

SUMMARY:Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps provide a concise summary of coastal resources that face potential risk in the event of an oil or chemical spill nearby. Incident response managers use these maps from a wide range of federal and state agencies to identify vulnerable coastal locations and guide decision-making about where and how to prioritize emergency response and restoration activities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has established guidance and developed a portal for publishing nationally consistent ESI maps. The Lake Champlain Basin Program\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, and U.S. Geological Survey recognize the need to create these maps for the 587 miles of Lake Champlain shoreline so that protection priorities and response strategies can be identified\, allowing rapid response in the case of an oil or chemical spill. This presentation will provide an overview of the Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping. \nClick here to register. \nPresenter: Ben Fisher\, physical scientist\, U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center
