2025-2026 OBX Green Drinks
November 13 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Join us in Nags Head for the 2025-2026 season of OBX Green Drinks, a popular monthly speaker series that brings together our Outer Banks community for an evening of networking, presentations on local environmental topics, and enjoying good food and drink. OBX Green Drinks is held monthly from October through March at Waverider’s in Nags Head. The OBX Green Drinks Series is free, with food and drinks available for purchase.
To kick this new season, we will be shellebrating N.C. Oyster Month on Thursday, October 9, alongside special guest Dr. Tal Ben-Horin, Assistant Professor of shellfish pathology at NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Refreshments will be provided.
Dr. Ben-Horin’s research focuses on oyster genetics to identify traits that make certain oysters more resilient and better able to survive. The popular delicacies have become a $27 million aquaculture industry in North Carolina, but have been plagued by mass die-offs. Ben-Horin, whose home base is the NC State Center for Marine Sciences and Technology on the NC coast in Morehead City, has been studying the survivors.
