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.

Kicking off the Lagoon Speaker Series in 2023, Hannah Medd of the American Shark Conservancy (ASC) will discuss how sharks use coastal estuaries like the Lake Worth Lagoon as an important habitat throughout different stages of life. She will discuss some familiar and not-so-familiar faces of the cartilaginous kind found in the lagoon and how the health of our watersheds may be affecting some of our important apex predators.

The program is presented by the City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability in partnership with the Lake Worth Waterkeeper and the Mandel Public Library.
