Description
Cape Cod Beer has teamed up with Barnstable Clean Water Coalition to create Clean Water Wednesdays, an educational series held in the brewery's taproom! Join the team as they deep dive into topics that are affecting not only our water on Cape Cod but globally as well! #CleanWaterMatters. This is a free event, however, RSVPs through Eventbrite are encouraged! This month's topic is “Water Pollution: What about Phosphorus?” We hear so much about nitrogen pollution from wastewater impacting the water quality in our ponds and bays. But what about phosphorus? Join us at Cape Cod Beer on Wednesday, May 17th at 6:30 p.m. to learn more about this lesser-known nutrient. Excess phosphorus can lead to cyanobacteria blooms and increased invasive algal growth in ponds. Tara Nye Lewis from the Cape Cod Commission and John Keith from the Brewster Ponds Coalition will discuss sources of phosphorus, the ecological impacts of phosphorus pollution, and remediation methods. They will also provide information on how to get involved and learn more about protecting our local ponds.
