Okatie, SC –The Port Royal Sound Foundation (PRSF) was proud to host the 2nd annual State of the Sound Symposium on January 23 at the PRSF Maritime Center. This event marked the launch of the Port Royal Sound Environmental Quality Assessment, the first publication in the State of the Sound Series. This publication examines historic water quality data on the Port Royal Sound watershed, providing critical baseline data for future research in the area and highlighting sites that may benefit from more focused study. Four speakers presented on various topics related to the health of the Sound and explored how they connect to the Port Royal Sound Environmental Quality Assessment. These speakers included Dr. Denise Sanger, Dr. Andrew Tweel, and Dr. Joseph Ballenger (SCDNR Marine Resources Research Institute) and Dr. Eric Montie (University of South Carolina Beaufort).
