The Choctawhatchee Audubon Society will host a short film on Florida’s coastal dune lakes. Admission is free and open to the public.
Award winning film-maker Elam Stoltzfus has provided a stunning view of the scenery, ecology, and importance of 15 lakes that are extraordinary features of the panhandle’s coast. While the lakes are not unique, similar systems are found in only a few other places around the world.
The event is 6:30 p.m. May 5 at Northwest Florida State College, 100 College Blvd., Niceville, in building 350, room 110.
Professor Jon Bryan, NWFSC science department chair, will be on hand to discuss the lakes’ geology. Brandy Foley of the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance will also describe the pivotal role that CBA has taken in ensuring the preservation of the lakes’ ecological integrity.
