The course is intended to increase awareness of the participants to the value of the major watersheds in Western Pennsylvania and their impact on the economic health of the region and the quality of life of the citizens. The course will consist of six unique weekly field site visits on Wednesdays from 9am - 1pm. On May 6, the class will be about the Inland Marine Transportation System and at the Carnegie Science Center. On May 13, we’ll be at the monthly meeting of the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh for a panel discussion and a free lunch will be provided. On May 20, we’ll be touring and conducting the class at a Lock & Dam facility. Additional classes will include visits to a marine terminal, a recreational facility, and an environmental site. For certain visits, charter bus transportation will be provided from the Port of Pittsburgh Commission’s office.
