The Lake Worth Lagoon Watershed extends as far west as Lake Okeechobee and as far east as the Atlantic Ocean. It encompasses the majority of Palm Beach County and is an integral of the Greater Everglades System. It's what connects us all - human and nonhuman alike. The Lake Worth Lagoon Speaker Series brings together local experts to discuss the complexities of our watershed and how we as a community may have a greater role in the struggle for clean drinkable, fishable, and swimmable water for all.

Elaine Christian of the West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability will discuss the city's sustainable programs which will be followed up by Diane Buhler discussing the nonprofit Friends of Palm Beach and their work to keep our beaches clean. What role does trash play in our local ecosystem?
