Ocean Sustainability
A lecture by Dr Ed Hauser
Climate change, habitat destruction, ocean acidification, and overfishing severely impact the ability of our oceans to support coral reefs, kelp beds, and fisheries. The implications are enormous for both human and bird life. Learn about the environmental issues affecting the ocean biome and what will be needed to alter negative trends. Dr. Hauser is a retired professor emeritus from the university system in Ohio and a board member of Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society.

f/32 Photography Group Meeting
Wednesday, June 11, 7 pm

camera.jpg f/32 is a group of photographers who share an appreciation and love of photography. Members range from the young to the young at heart, from the amateur to the advanced, from those who just like to take pictures to the professional photographer. The members of f/32 use a wide range of equipment to produce images, including traditional film cameras, digital cameras, and flatbed scanners.

Each month we meet to share our work with each other and receive input from our peers, to see the work of other members, to learn new methods, techniques, and tricks of the trade, to hear about the latest industry news and equipment and to enjoy good old fashioned fellowship with other photographers.  Scheduled at the Reuter Center, this event is free and open to the public.
