Mandel Public Library: 6:30 - 8:00 PM

The Sierra Club Loxahatchee Group Energy Committee is pleased to host an evening devoted to oceans and how to protect them. Two ocean experts share ways we each can be a part of protecting our oceans and shorelines.

Catherine Uden, Senior Field Representative for Oceana in Florida, explains how Florida residents, business owners, and local elected officials can help Oceana advance legislation to protect our oceans and marine life. For over ten years, Catherine’s work has focused on ocean and coastal conservation in Broward County. She has led efforts to reduce plastic pollution, protect coastal habitat, and ensure public beach access. She previously taught in the Broward County Public School System for fifteen years.

Evan Orellana, Regional Surfrider Foundation Manager for Florida and Puerto Rico, shares how local volunteers can protect our ocean waves and beaches through beach cleanups and water testing. Evan earned a bachelor's of science in marine biology at Florida Atlantic University, specializing in the study of corals and jellyfish. He previously served as Director of Education at the Sandoway Discovery Center, an oceanfront historic nature and shark conservation museum in Delray Beach.

Light refreshments will be provided by the Sierra Club Loxahatchee Group Energy Committee.
