FISM Coalition Meeting in October
October 12, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
The Fishers Island Seagrass Management (FISM) Coalition will hold its summer meeting in October!
When: Thursday, 12 Oct, 11:00 am-12:30 pm
Where: Hybrid meeting on Zoom and at the Henry L. Ferguson Museum – email our project coordinator to RSVP!
Who: All members of the community are welcome! Non-coalition members will be observers and have the opportunity to comment at the end of the meeting.
The FISM Coalition has had an active summer rolling out the first year of their Save Our Seagrass Movement! The S.O.S Movement, created by this community-led organization, encompasses four initiatives:
build community interest and understanding of eelgrass as a vital ecological resource- provide a path for homeowners to reduce their nitrogen footprint
- encourage boaters of Fishers Island Sound to use the coastal waters of Fishers Island with care to sustain our healthy waters for generations
- generate a sense of pride within Fishers Island residents and visitors about their eelgrass meadows through a citizen scientist network
As the Coalition looks to build off their successes from the 2023 outreach and engagement season in the summer meeting, they will review their actions from this year. They will also closely examine the progress from this year concerning the recently passed FISM Plan from August 2022. After this examination, they will discuss developing and building off the successes and lessons learned.
This meeting is an excellent opportunity for community members to become familiar with the Coalition’s work and to discover more about their plans for the future. Please join us either in person or online!
