Eco-educator and award-winning author S. Deacon Ritterbush, also known as “Dr. Beachcomb,” will be the featured speaker at the next Ohana Night at the Energy Lab, presented by Hawaii Preparatory Academy at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 9.
The event is free and open to the public.
Ritterbush, one of the world’s leading beachcombing experts, will present “Connecting to Nature Through Beachcombing.” She will discuss the relationship of beachcombing to “willing stewardship‚” through beachcombing’s ability to serve as a portal into shoreline conservation issues and the science and history of a specific region.
Ritterbush will share information on fascinating beach treasures, offer tips and techniques to make family beachcombing expeditions more fruitful, and discuss shorelines that “have stories to tell” — from the Caribbean and Bay of Fundy to the Big Island.
Ritterbush’s presentation will be followed by a book signing and artifact identification session.
