The University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) is inviting the community to a special panel discussion — “Explore the Lowcountry’s Waterways & Ecology” – from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 9, in Room 156 of the Hargray Building on the USCB Bluffton Campus.
Led by Biology & Marine Science Professor Joe Staton, the event will bring together topic specialists and community leaders to discuss the unique ecosystems of the Lowcountry and the 21st-century challenges they face. Attendees will gain insights into marine biology, conservation efforts, and sustainable solutions to protect our region’s natural treasures.
Audience discussion will focus on ways to work together to safeguard the ecological richness of our coastal home. Following the discussion, guests are invited to a light reception to meet and network with the panelists.
This event is part of USCB’s 20th Anniversary celebration and is generously sponsored by the Heritage Classic Foundation and the Beaufort Jasper Commission on Higher Education. RSVP at USCB.edu/20th.
