Tuesday Night Speaker: How’s the Estuary Doing? How do we Know? Why Should we Care?

This week we welcome Kalle Matso aboard to discuss the Estuary, how it’s doing, and why we should care.  Your ticket includes a 2 hour sail and a talk and discussion about the state of our Estuary.

Bring a picnic and join us for this specially priced $18 sail!  You can find tickets on our site here.

As the Coastal Science Program Manager at PREP, Kalle is responsible for developing and managing the science-based programs and projects. Before coming to PREP, Kalle helped manage the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative, a partnership between the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Prior to that, Kalle managed the research portfolio for the Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET), also at UNH.

Originally trained as a journalist—he received his bachelor’s degree in English from The Colorado College—and  then as a marine ecologist, Kalle now focuses on more effectively linking science to societal decisions in a timely manner.. Kalle has been at UNH since 1997, when he began his Masters program focused on eelgrass ecology in the Great Bay Estuary. He also received his PhD at UNH, studying how research projects both succeed and fail to link new knowledge to action.
