The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is pleased to present the June offering of its Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series, “The History of the Goleta Slough” featuring Tom Modugno, local Goleta historian and creator of GoletaHistory.com. The event will take place on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Using a collection of captivating photographs, Modugno will guide attendee’s through the slough’s rich history—from Chumash origins to its current state as Santa Barbara’s municipal airport.
Despite various incarnations and development proposals over the years, the Goleta Slough has maintained its status as a unique and invaluable natural environment. In 1987, 440 acres of Goleta slough became the Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve, which today is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. This large swath of land is home to a variety of habitats and species such as: ducks, shorebirds, herons and mice among its rivers, wetlands, estuaries.
The cost is free for SBMM Navigators Circle members; $10 for all other members; and $20 for the general public.
The Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series is sponsored by Marie L Morrisroe.
