SUMMARY:FISM 2nd Annual Fishers Island Eelgrass Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Fishers Island Seagrass Management Coalition for its 2nd Annual Eelgrass Boat Tour with guest speaker Jamie Vaudrey\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Research Professor of Marine Sciences\, University of Connecticut\nWHEN: Saturday\, July 27\, 2024\, @ 9 am\nLOCATION: Fishers Island Ferry District\nTICKETS: $60/per person \nWe will board at the Fishers Island Ferry Dock and cruise to some of our island’s best eelgrass locations. Dr. Vaudrey will discuss eelgrass around Fishers Island\, its importance in the Long Island Sound ecosystem\, and what threatens its survival. Learn to identify and distinguish these amazing plants from salt marsh grasses\, widgeon grass\, and seaweeds. The most up-to-date information about eelgrass restoration projects happening on Long Island Sound will also be provided. Attendees will take home a special FISM gift to commemorate this can’t-miss experience. \nSeating is limited to 27 people\, so reserve your spot today! \nRegister Today!\n \nJamie Vaudrey\, Ph.D. \n\nDr. Vaudrey’s research interests are in ecosystem dynamics in the coastal zone\, specifically in the effect of land use on the coastal environment and how anthropogenic changes to the landscape may change our coastal ecosystems. She is specifically interested in the relationship between human activities and the expression of eutrophication in large systems (Narragansett Bay\, Long Island Sound) and small embayments of these larger systems. She also has an interest in seagrass systems as indicators of a desirable state of water quality and inputs to coastal systems. She has been involved with a variety of seagrass projects throughout New England\, including assessing the genetic diversity of eelgrass\, evaluating restoration projects\, and developing a model to assist with the siting of restoration projects. \nVaudrey received a B.A. in Biology with a minor in Philosophy from Wellesley College\, MA\, and a Ph.D. in Oceanography from the University of Connecticut. She is currently research faculty in the Department of Marines Sciences at UConn and has recently been the UConn lead for the establishment of a National Estuarine Research Reserve in Connecticut\, which opened its door in July 2022. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Speaker Jamie Vaudrey\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Research Professor of Marine Sciences\, University of Connecticut during the 2023 Fishers Island Eelgrass Boat Tour.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Eelgrass from Barleyfield Cove\, one of the locations visited during the 2023 Fishers Island Eelgrass Boat Tour.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr. Vaudrey shows an attendee how to distinguish seagrass from seaweed.\n				\n		\n\nFor more information on the Fishers Island Seagrass Management Coalition\, please visit the FISM website: \nfiseagrass.org
