SUMMARY:PRSF Lecture Series: White Shark Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the fascinating world of white sharks as we explore cutting-edge research projects happening right here in the Northwest Atlantic. This engaging lecture will uncover how scientists study these iconic predators and the innovative conservation efforts working to protect them and our ocean ecosystems.\n\nAbout the speaker:Dr. Megan Winton\, Senior Scientist\, Atlantic White Shark ConservancyAs an aspiring shark scientist growing up in northeast Florida\, Megan thought she would have to travel across the globe\, or at the very least the United States\, if she ever wanted to study great white sharks. She had no idea they were swimming right past her every winter during the course of their southern migration. Now the Senior Scientist at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy\, a Cape Cod\, Massachusetts\, based nonprofit\, she is leading efforts to study the species along the east coast\, including the southeast\, which represents the new frontier for great white research in the Atlantic. Her research uses a combination of cutting-edge technologies and creative approaches to study the movements\, behavior\, and impacts of human activities on great whites and other shark species. In her talk\, she’ll discuss how recent scientific advances are shedding light on the secret lives of sharks and transforming people’s perceptions of this iconic species.\n\nOur lecture series allows you to learn from the experts. With a wide range of topics from Lowcountry wildlife and history to best practices for your home and garden\, there’s truly something for everyone!

SUMMARY:The Prince of Tides Book Club Discussion
DESCRIPTION:“Wholeness. It all comes back. It’s all a circle.”–Pat Conroy\, The Prince of Tides \nPat Conroy’s 1986 masterwork The Prince of Tides is the quintessential Lowcountry novel\, beloved by millions as their point of entrance into the lush southern geography\, lyrical voice\, and complex interweaving of fact and fiction which define the author’s literary legacy. Join Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt and USC Beaufort English professor and Writer in Residence Ellen Malphrus for a book club discussion of the novel\, its major themes\, its 1991 Academy Award-nominated film adaptation\, its place in the Conroy literary canon\, and its lasting impact on Lowcountry literature and lore. \nTickets are required for all guests: Get Tickets! \nAbout Our Presenters\nJonathan Haupt is the executive director of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center\, the past director of the University of South Carolina Press\, and co-editor of the anthology Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy\, winner of 17 book awards. He is a frequent guest book reviewer for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Charleston Post and Courier. Under Jonathan’s leadership\, the Conroy Center has been recognized as an American Library Association Literary Landmark\, an affiliate of the American Writers Museum\, and winner of the Civitas Award for Tourism Leadership. \nDr. Ellen Malphrus is a professor of English and the Writer in Residence at the University of South Carolina Beaufort\, where she was honored as the 2022 Professor of the Year. Malphrus is the author of the novel Untying the Moon\, a contributing writer to Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy\, and the author of poetry\, creative prose\, and scholarly work published in Poetry South\, Haight Ashbury Review\, Natural Bridge\, James Dickey Review\, Southern Literary Journal\, William & Mary Review\, Blue Mountain Review\, Fall Lines\, Review of Contemporary Fiction\, Weber—the Contemporary West\, and Literature: Reading and Writing with Critical Strategies. \nAbout The Prince of Tides (from the publisher):\nSet in New York City and the low country of South Carolina\, The Prince of Tides opens when Tom\, a high school football coach whose marriage and career are crumbling\, flies from South Carolina to New York after learning of his twin sister’s suicide attempt. Savannah is one of the most gifted poets of her generation\, and both the cadenced beauty of her art and the jumbled cries of her illness are clues to the too-long-hidden story of her wounded family. In the paneled offices and luxurious restaurants of New York City\, Tom and Susan Lowenstein\, Savannah’s psychiatrist\, unravel a history of violence\, abandonment\, commitment\, and love. And Tom realizes that trying to save his sister is perhaps his last chance to save himself.\nWith passion and a rare gift of language\, Pat Conroy moves from present to past\, tracing the amazing history of the Wingos from World War II through the final days of the war in Vietnam and into the 1980s\, drawing a rich range of characters: the lovable\, crazy Mr. Fruit\, who for decades has wordlessly directed traffic at the same intersection in the southern town of Colleton; Reese Newbury\, the ruthless\, patrician land speculator who threatens the Wingos’ only secure worldly possession\, Melrose Island; Herbert Woodruff\, Susan Lowenstein’s husband\, a world-famous violinist; Tolitha Wingo\, Savannah’s mentor and eccentric grandmother\, the first real feminist in the Wingo family.\nPat Conroy reveals the lives of his characters with surpassing depth and power\, capturing the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country and a lost way of life.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Talks: Dr. Eric Montie - 10 Years of Listening to Estuaries & Tracking Bottlenose Dolphins
DESCRIPTION: \nDr. Eric Montie’s research program focuses on fish & marine mammal biology and the bioacoustics of marine life with applied applications in environmental toxicology\, noise pollution and climate change. His team utilizes passive acoustic recorders mounted on oceanographic instrument frames that allow continuous and long-term sampling of the underwater soundscape. These recordings provide information on the behavior of snapping shrimp\, spawning patterns of fish\, foraging patterns and communication of bottlenose dolphins and noise levels associated with human activity. \nThe long-term goal is to ‘eavesdrop’ on key behaviors of marine animals that can change rapidly or gradually in response to environmental changes and human impacts\, thus providing a measure of resilience or shifting baselines in a globally changing environment. \nIn 2020\, Montie founded the Estuarine Soundscape Observatory Network in the Southeast (or ESONS)\, which now monitors biological sound and human-made noise in four estuaries of South Carolina. In addition\, he supervises the Lowcountry Dolphin Conservation Program\, which focuses on the population dynamics and ecology of common bottlenose dolphins in the Port Royal Sound Area. \nDuring this talk\, Dr. Montie will discuss major highlights of these two monitoring programs that have been observed over the past 10 years.

Andy originally hails from Kingsport\, TN\, and Raleigh\, NC\, where his natural history interests began at an early age (his first field notes – counting toads in the front yard – were written when he was 5 years old). He studied biological sciences at the University of Tennessee\, and completed his PhD on the evolutionary history of Philippine birds at the University of Minnesota. \nFrom 2006 until early 2022\, he worked as curator of ornithology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. There\, he continued research on birds using genetic tools\, spanning topics such as the taxonomy of terns of the world\, identifying newly discovered hybrid combinations in the wild\, and the evolutionary history of boreal bird species. He also became one of the team leads on Lights Out Cleveland\, a group working with building managers to turn lights off during migration as well as coordinating volunteers to recover injured and dead birds that collided with buildings. \nAlong the way\, Dr. Jones has been active in nonprofit leadership. He has served as a board member and on the research committee of Black Swamp Bird Observatory\, as a board member of Winous Point Marsh Conservancy\, and as Secretary of the American Ornithological Society. He has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society for his contributions to ornithology. In May 2022\, he joined the Spring Island Trust and Lowcountry Institute as Executive Director.\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/portroyalsoundfoundation/items/432414/availability/1514618269/book/?full-items=yes” button_text=”Reserve Your Seat” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”tix button” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#006272″ button_on_hover=”off” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

A battle ensued from unlikely citizen groups who banded together to defeat the political forces behind the push for an industrial site to be located on the Colleton River\, between Bluffton and Hilton Head Island. BASF’s defeat was a victory for the environment and changed the way the state courted future industry. It also gave rise to the Friends of the River\, which eventually would become the Port Royal Sound Foundation! \nAl Stokes is the retired manager of the SCDNR’s Waddell Mariculture R&D Center\, resident of Victoria Bluff for 45 years\, member of the Open Land Trust Board and the Town of Bluffton Stormwater Advisory Committee\, and world renown shrimp mariculture consultant.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/portroyalsoundfoundation/items/432414/availability/1514618257/book/?full-items=yes” button_text=”Reserve Your Seat” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#006272″ global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
