Tri-C Examines Sustainable Development Practices in Coastal Communities

Ohio Sea Grant educator to visit Westshore Campus for March 25 event

The concept of sustainable development that balances economic growth with environmental impact will be the focus of an upcoming program at the Westshore Campus of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C^®).

This topic is the focus of the latest “Learning for Life” lecture series program at the campus. The free program takes place March 25.

The discussion will be led by Joe Lucente, an associate professor and extension educator with Ohio Sea Grant. The group works with organizations and communities to solve Lake Erie’s most pressing environmental and economic issues.

The conversation will explore how Ohio Sea Grant works to help coastal communities understand the connection between effective planning and natural resource management.

The free program begins at 6 p.m. in room 310 of the Liberal Arts and Technology building at Westshore Campus, located at 31001 Clemens Road in Westlake. Registration is requested, but not required.
