USGS Helps Celebrate Early Earth Day in Florida
Kathy Krohn, a volunteer for the USGS Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies in St. Petersburg, improvised a hands-on rock display for the 700 students at the school. (A display entitled "Marshes as Sponges," originally intended for the event, was not used because of 20-knot gusty winds from the northwest.) Tampa Bay Water, a neighbor of the school, was one of the dozen other organizations to participate in the event. Tampa Bay Water is a government agency recently created by agreement among local jurisdictions to provide wholesale water to the communities in the Tampa Bay region.
