Event Description:
A panel presentation on Prove It's Clean, a campaign to ban petrochemical sunscreens in Roatán, an island off the coast of Honduras. The presentation will go into some background of the island, an explanation of the harm caused by petrochemical sunscreens, and the action plan we are taking to address this problem in favor of the health of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
Come to learn about how efforts to conserve the natural environment are by necessity collaborative -- in this case, between communities of scientists, conservationists, scuba enthusiasts, businesses, and non-profit organizations, both US-based and local to the island of Roatán.
This will be a virtual discussion held over Zoom on Ocean Day of Latino Conservation Week (Monday 9/16) from 3pm MT - 4pm MT. Register here: https://
