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: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.

SUMMARY:Eat Your Invasives: The Bay’s Battle with Blue Catfish
DESCRIPTION:Blue catfish have been terrorizing Chesapeake Bay’s native fish for decades; they consume smaller fish and invertebrates in huge quantities and compete with larger fish. Some of their prey species are economically important\, like blue crabs and menhaden\, while others are already the focus of recovery efforts due to low populations\, like shad and river herring. One proposed solution is to develop a market and a commercial fishery for the troublemakers. \nJoin the Chesapeake Research Consortium on Wednesday\, November 20th from 12-1 pm to learn about the blue catfish invasion and what we can do about it. Register here! \n\n\nSpeakers: \n\nBruce Vogt\, Ecosystem Science Manager\, NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office & Chair\, Chesapeake Bay Program’s Invasive Catfish Workgroup\nMike Hutt\, Executive Director\, Virginia Marine Products Board

SUMMARY:Federal Tools for Environmental Justice: Understanding and Addressing Health Disparities and Community Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how satellite data could be used to demonstrate the impacts of green infrastructure on public health? Have you heard of EJScreen but you’re not sure how to use it? \nIn this webinar\, speakers will share more about various tools–such as CDC public health data\, EJScreen\, and NASA’s EJ Data Catalog–that help practitioners map and understand the vulnerabilities impacting our communities’ land and waterways\, and connect ecosystem health with the health disparities shown by local socioeconomic data. Practitioners will gain a better understanding of the purpose of each tool\, how to access and use them\, and how to use multiple tools to create a holistic picture of local climate and health challenges and how to address them from an ecosystem perspective. \nRegister at the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsd-iqqz8pG9wLbL4z06lqON-cb2GhB1m_

SUMMARY:Deep Dive into Post-Construction BMP (P-BMP) Inspections
DESCRIPTION:All post-construction stormwater best management practices (P-BMPs) need continual maintenance and monitoring to remain functional and in compliance with both the approved plans and the locality’s permit. These P-BMPs range in design from the 17-proprietary designs to the many non-proprietary designs featured in the Virgina Stormwater Management Handbook. Without regular maintenance these facilities can quickly lose their functionality and will no longer adequately treat the stormwater that drains to them. \nDuring this webinar\, VA DEQ will discuss the life cycle of these P-BMPs (from construction to post-construction)\, common maintenance Issues\, identification of functional components\, and communication with the responsible party.

SUMMARY:Watershed Forestry Webinar 2: Riparian Forest Buffers
DESCRIPTION:Riparian forests provide a diversity of benefits to ecosystems and communities. Katie Brownson\, USFS Liaison to the Chesapeake Bay Program\, will provide an overview of riparian forests and their benefits\, including water quality\, climate resilience and flood mitigation. Two guest speakers will then highlight the work their organizations are doing to maintain and restore riparian forests and the on-the-ground strategies they use. Jeremy Geist of Trout Unlimited will discuss projects in the Great Lakes region that utilize approaches such as the addition of large wood in and adjacent to streams\, climate informed riparian forest plantings\, and stream channel and stream bank restoration. Craig Highfield of Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will discuss planting new riparian forest buffers in the Chesapeake Bay region. Craig will discuss partnership strategies and conservation programs the Alliance uses to implement and maintain riparian forests. Register here!
