Leading experts who are helping the state study and counteract rising ocean acidity levels are scheduled to speak at a free seminar Jan. 24 at Everett Station.
The Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee is hosting the event featuring speakers from the Washington State Panel on Ocean Acidification. The seminar is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. in Everett Station's Weyerhaeuser Room, 3201 Smith Ave.
"We're pleased to be able to help educate the public about ocean acidification," said Tom Hoban, chairman of the county Marine Resources committee. "The breadth of its effects has only been recognized within the last decade and most people have never even heard of it."
