Ken Sherman, a Suffolk alumnus and global leader in remediating ocean pollution will be at the University Feb. 1 to deliver a lecture to students regarding pollution to our waters and marine life and the possible solutions and routes we can take to help counter it. A recent Suffolk press release stated the solutions to the pollution have “been very effective, in many regions, including such unlikely places as the Gulf of Guinea abutting several countries in West Africa and the Yellow Sea, abutting China and the Koreas”.

A display in the Donahue Building is featuring material related to Sherman’s work with the Large Marine Ecosystem program, a program that divides oceans in separate ecosystems, focusing on specific remedies for each troubled region.

Sherman has also received prizes and recognition for his work in the field. He even contributed to Al Gore’s Nobel Prize which got him recognition from the Nobel committee. Sherman is looking forward to meeting and connecting with students on his visit to Suffolk next Tuesday.
