Our coral systems are under threat from climate change, unsustainable fishing, land based pollution, coastal development, and disease. Unfortunately, some of the ingredients contained in personal health care and sunscreen products have been found to also threaten coral reef ecosystems How these and other compounds affect reef ecosystems is an active area of research. Investigators at the National Academy of Sciences are currently reviewing studies that will help to predict the environmental impact of sunscreens on coral reef systems and other aquatic life The most recent round of studies was completed, and the September 8th NYSCC seminar will be the first opportunity to lear n what the findings are

T he COVID 19 pandemic has led many of us to retur n to outdated deficit thinking when it comes to publicly communicate science If we can just restore trust or combat misinfor mation, many have argued, people will once again engage in behaviors that are in line with the best available science. Unfortunately, the latest social science tells a very different story Algorithmically curated online infor mation environments capitalize on human psychology and on a wealth of consumer data that exist about each one of us, and they tailor infor mation that is tailored to what we already believe, rather than challenge potential misperceptions So, what does this mean for effective communication about sunscreen use or other attitudes or behaviors in line with the best available science? How can we meaningfully connect with audiences about emerging and sometimes contested science? And how can we balance the tensions between having to get public buy in to urgent public health challenges, while maintaining long ter m trust in science as our best way of producing knowledge?

Charles Menzie C oncer ns have been raised about the potential toxicity of sunscreens to a variety of marine and freshwater aquatic organisms, particularly corals. At the same time, there are concerns that people will use less sunscreen as a result of environmental concerns
An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reviewed the state of the science on the use of the active ingredients in sunscreens (UV filters) currently marketed in the United States This review was conducted to provide information useful for future application in ecological risk assessments, by reviewing infor mation on UV filter fates, exposure, and effects. The report also includes a review of the potential human impacts that could result from changes in availability of certain UV filters for use in sunscreens, in order to infor m management of both human and ecosystem health. This presentation will describe the committee’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations related to this issue, as well as the priority knowledge gaps to fill, to infor m higher tiered risk assessments The presentation will include a discussion of the intersection of aquatic chemistry, ecotoxicology, ecology, and epidemiology to understand the potential for risks from UV filters and implications to human health for changes in sunscreen use n Charles A.

Detection, Toxicity, and Environmental Risk of Organic UV Filters in Corals Carys Mitchelmore U V filters are a diverse group of contaminants of emerging concer n (CECs) contained in a number of consumer products, with differing physical and chemical characteristics that deter mine their occurrence, fate, and effects in the aquatic environment. Organic UV filters have been detected in wastewater, freshwater, and marine environments in multiple matrices, such as, the aqueous phase, biosolids, sediment, and biota. Their ubiquitous presence has led to concer ns on their risk to resident organisms The impact of organic UV filters to corals has received significant media and policy attention although data on their presence in coral reef environments and their toxicity to corals (continued

Awareness of UV impacts on skin has led to a dramatic increase in sunscreen use, many of which can have detrimental impacts on sensitive ecosystems such as coral reefs Some for mulations of sunscreen contain compounds that can disrupt coral reproduction and growth These chemical stressors are compounded by other stressors, creating conditions that can lead to coral reef decline, which puts coral dependent fish populations at risk Ultimately this affects people who depend on coastal fishing, tourism, and other ecosystem services. Some stressors are beyond our immediate control to mitigate, but others can be addressed through the actions of consumers and product developers Sunscreens are such a product, and through an enhanced awareness of their impacts, and reef safe options, we can reduce that stressor. Nicole Crane will talk about coral reefs, some of the stressors, including sunscreens, and the value coral reefs bring to people, including the indigenous outer islanders of Micronesia with whom she and her teams work through their non profit One People One Reef. n Nicole Crane, Ph.D.

The by laws were adopted on October 27th and submitted to the Society The New York Chapter was officially accepted by the Society at the board meeting on March 3, 1955 Michael A Stanton became the first Chapter Chair. Everything that has ever happened in our Chapter, from extraordinary educational events, fun social activities, and the world class Suppliers Day, started with the efforts of those long ago visionaries. It is a challenge to reconstruct all that history, back to a time without Google, an NYSCC website, or PDF files of the Cosmetiscope As we head to our 70th anniversary in 2025, not that far off, it is a fitting time to begin assembling all the history and memories residing with our members Details on the early years of Suppliers’ Day, and almost any infor mation before 1985, are particularly welcome, but of course anything up to the present time is a valued part of our collective history
