OceanBlueProject presents "Nye Creek Coastal Fungi Project". This project will use mycofiltration to lower pollution that flows into our ocean! Our goal is to use fungi species and plants to remove toxins and pathogens from non-point sources. The majority of pollutants going into the ocean come from activities on land. Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and dog waste not only affect ecosystems, they can also have harmful effects on the economy. Fungi eats nitrogen, phosphorus, and E. Coli from animal waste. Join our event on 03/14/2015 in Newport, Oregon!
