MEDIA RELEASE

Linda Preskitt, research biologist and avid SCUBA diver, is the guest at the next Puako Marine Speaker Series, 6:30-8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 29 at Hokuloa Church.

Preskitt will be challenging the way we look at limu and giving the most up-to-date information on a recent algal bloom that covered a coral reef in West Hawaii.  

She will also be introducing “Eyes of the Reef,” a volunteer program; the goal is to spot invasive species, algal blooms, and coral bleaching early so that problems can be addressed before they get out of hand.

For more information, call Sara Peck of University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program at 329-2861.
