Exploring Coral Spawning in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary
June 2, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET
Take a virtual field trip into the depths of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary with expedition lead Dr. Sarah Davies of Boston University.
In 2019, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries partnered with Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration to expand our understanding of sanctuaries through deep-water exploration and research. Aboard the research vessel Manta, Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration staff, Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary researchers, and partner scientists ventured about 100 miles offshore of Galveston, Texas. There, they observed annual coral reproduction, known as spawning, on the deep reefs of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Learn about the highlights as lead scientist Dr. Sarah Davies recounts the expedition.
Join Texas Children in Nature and Special Guest Emily Weerts in this Best Practices Seminar.
The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to join Sarah Gossett Robinson, Senior Community Liaison for Houston Water, to learn how you/your house of worship can assist in conserving water & preserving water quality. Houston Water, a service line of Houston Public Works, aims to treat and deliver safe and clean water resources through ongoing investment in sustainable technologies, infrastructure and community engagement. This presentation will outline the community engagement, outreach, and informal education strategies that complement engineered solutions to improve the City’s drinking and wastewater infrastructure, including opportunities for partnership for houses of worship and their members to further engage with these initiatives. The event will be recorded, so if you can’t make it, you can still get a copy of the training recording to review later.

Join in a fun challenge to observe and record wild species. It is easy to participate by making observations on your own using the iNaturalist app. Just take a picture of a plant or animal, and the community will help identify which species it is. Any observation in the greater metropolitan area of Houston will count during the four-day challenge. You can participate by exploring the life in your backyard (and use the hashtag #backyardchallenge on social media), in your neighborhood park, or from an apartment balcony or courtyard. You can also help with IDs for other people’s observations to increase our species count.
