SUMMARY:DEQ Education Series: Chesapeake Bay Protection & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Chesapeake Bay is where the fresh waters of the Potomac\, Rappahannock\, York and James Rivers (along with other tributaries\, creeks\, and streams) meet the ocean to create the largest estuary in the U.S. These brackish waters are home to unique plant and animal communities\, and the Bay was once the most productive estuary in the country. However\, chronic water quality issues in the Bay have negatively impacted these aquatic resources\, fueling the creation of a multi-state effort to preserve the Chesapeake Bay. With a watershed that extends into six different states and the District of Columbia\, the historic\, cultural\, and economic importance of the Bay cannot be understated – and Virginia has a large role to play in its recovery. \nJoin us for a free webinar on Tuesday\, June 10th\, from 6:30pm-8pm\, to learn about the activities the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) engages in to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay. During the presentation\, DEQ staff will discuss the Commonwealth’s participation in the Chesapeake Bay Program\, how the agency implements monitoring activities\, and the activities DEQ regulates under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Each of these efforts relies on the support and engagement of all stakeholders in Virginia – this means you! Use the link below to register for this virtual presentation and learn more about how we can protect the Bay together.

SUMMARY:Better Together: Participatory Science Resources & Opportunities at EPA
DESCRIPTION:Participatory science uses the collective strength and knowledge of the public to collect\, analyze\, and use data to answer environmental and public health questions. Participatory science is the involvement of the public in scientific research and includes a broad and inclusive array of activities. Projects answer wide ranging questions\, can engage the public in any or all steps of the scientific process\, and operate using diverse models ranging from community-led to institutionally driven. These efforts facilitate community engagement and an increase in place-based connections\, environmental stewardship\, and scientific literacy. EPA has a long history of engaging data collected by the public. In recent years\, the agency has collaborated with Tribal Nations\, state agencies\, academia\, technical support providers\, and volunteer scientists to explore effective collaborations and approaches to implementation. This webinar will explore three areas of participatory science focus at EPA: role of participatory science at EPA\, key considerations and resources available when starting a project\, and lessons learned and project spotlights. \n\nRegister for the webinar.

SUMMARY:ECOTOX Knowledgebase and PFAS Updates
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will demonstrate EPA’s Ecotoxicology Knowledgebase (ECOTOX) tool\, which gives quick access to reliable and up-to-date information about how chemicals potentially affect ecologically relevant species. ECOTOX is a comprehensive\, publicly available knowledgebase providing single chemical environmental toxicity data for over 12\,000 chemicals and species\, including aquatic life\, terrestrial plants\, and wildlife. ECOTOX provides robust curated toxicity data for aquatic and terrestrial organisms to support ecological risk assessments\, site assessments\, criteria/benchmark development\, and other research. The knowledgebase is additionally used to aid the prioritization and assessment of chemicals. By leveraging this knowledge\, EPA remains committed to providing clear\, actionable\, and accessible information about PFAS to the public\, researchers\, and risk assessors. This presentation will include information on updates to ECOTOX data for PFAS to support hazard evaluation and development of ecological risk assessment screening values. The ECOTOX Knowledgebase Resource Hub can be accessed here. \n\nRegister for the webinar.

SUMMARY:Mystery of History Hike
DESCRIPTION:The rich story of Virginia’s First Peoples has many twists and turns that are steeped in mystery and controversy as their oral histories were scattered by European arrival\, leaving the written and published accounts of those same foreigners to be some of the only well-known accounts that remain today. Join Machicomoco State Park for a Ranger led hike to discuss the different mysteries surrounding the historic Powhatan Peoples and their encounters with the colonists\, including some that still remain today. Recommended for participants ages 12+.

SUMMARY:Building Coastal Adaptive Capacity through Nature-based Solutions
DESCRIPTION:This five-part webinar series features projects funded by the Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division’s Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) and Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAP) programs focused on the research and application of nature-based solutions (NbS)\, which are actions to protect\, sustainably manage\, or restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges\, simultaneously providing benefits for people and the environment. Register here! \nIncreasing communities’ capacity to adapt to climate change can take many forms–this webinar features two presentations that relate to increasing coastal adaptive capacity. The first\, funded by AdSci\, will provide an overview of how a community is working to increase their coastal adaptive capacity and community resilience to sea level rise through workshops and vulnerability assessments that identify potential adaptation pathways\, funding opportunities\, and data needs. \nThe second project featured will be from the West CAP team\, the California-Nevada Climate Adaptation Program\, highlighting their approach to providing technical assistance and integrating regional data and projections for sea level rise\, coastal storm flooding\, and beach erosion. This work aims to assist with developing adaptation pathways and strategies\, including dunes as NbS\, and co-produces and integrates climate\, social science research\, and Indigenous stewardship to support the advancement of effective and equitable sea-level rise adaptation planning with several collaborators across Southern California.
