Citizen Science to focus on lagoon

  This is Paul Janensch with a Treasure Coast Essay about how non-scientists can be involved in scientific research to protect our Indian River Lagoon.  It starts with a public forum.  The theme is Citizen Science -- what non-scientists can do for the lagoon, which is so important to the Treasure Coast.    The day before the forum, there will be a symposium on the lagoon for scientists, decision makers and students.  The evening following, there will be a “Love Your Lagoon” dinner.  The Citizen Science forum will be from 9 to noon this Friday, February 6, at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute on US 1, north of Fort Pierce.  It is free, but you must register in advance by 5 p.m. today.  To do so, go to indianriverlagoon.org and click on Symposium.  This is Paul Janensch.
