PORT ANGELES — Doug Myers, director of science for the Seattle-based People for Puget Sound, will speak about the structure of the sound and the dangers threatening it.
Myers will present “Puget Sound 101 and Challenges for Its Restoration” from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at the Arthur D. Feiro Marine Life Center on City Pier in Port Angeles.
A donation of $5 is suggested for the presentation sponsored by Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the marine life center.
Myers will talk about the sound’s structure, physical and biological characteristics, “and the stresses that make it one of the most imperiled estuaries in the U.S.,” said Susie Winters, volunteer speaker coordinator.
Myers will discuss the geology, oceanography, landscape ecology, diverse salmon populations and “the fragile interconnectedness of its inhabitants from plankton to orca whales,” Winters said.
Limited seating is available.
