OBX Green Drinks: March Monthly Mingle

Monday, March 10, 2014

March Monthly Mingle

Please join us on Wednesday, March 12 to learn more about the Gulf Stream, that fast-flowing river of warm water along the East Coast.

We've all heard about the Gulf Stream, but how much do we really know about this physical feature of the western Atlantic Ocean? Join Dr. Lindsay Dubbs on Wednesday evening, March 12, to discover more about Sargassum, and the Gulf Stream's power potential, as well as new research that indicates that the Gulf Stream is not as responsible for Europe's mild climate as was once thought!

Please RSVP by sending an email to obxgreendrinks@gmail.com so we know how many people will be joining us. Feel free to come a little early and enjoy some of Coastal Provisions' wonderful dining options!

When: Wednesday, March 12, 2014
7:00 - 7:30 pm meet, mingle, catch up, sip wine/beer
7:30 - 8:30 pm   "Things You Should Know About the Gulf Stream"
                                       Dr. Lindsay Dubbs, Research Associate, Renewable
                                            Ocean Energy Program, UNC Coastal Studies Institute,
                                            and Associate Director, Outer Banks Field Site
