SUMMARY:FISM 3rd Annual Fishers Island Eelgrass Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Fishers Island Seagrass Management Coalition for its 3rd Annual Eelgrass Boat Tour with guest speaker Jamie Vaudrey\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Research Professor of Marine Sciences\, University of Connecticut.\nWHEN: Friday\, July 18\, 2025\, @ 8:30 -10:30 am \nLOCATION: Fishers Island Ferry District (CT attendees can come over on the charter from New London!) \nTICKETS: $50/per person – plus processing fees \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. Discover the newest methods scientists are using to restore and protect Long Island Sound eelgrass! Attendees will take home a special FISM gift to commemorate this can’t-miss experience. \nSeating is limited to 28 people\, so reserve your spot today! \nREGISTER TODAY!About Our Speaker: \nJamie Vaudrey\, Ph.D. \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 a research faculty member in the Department of Marine Sciences at UConn and has recently been the UConn lead for the establishment of a National Estuarine Research Reserve in Connecticut\, which opened its doors in July 2022.

SUMMARY:FISM Coalition Winter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Fishers Island Seagrass Management (FISM) Coalition will hold its winter meeting in February!\nWhen: Friday\, 16 Feb\, 12:00-1:30 pm \nWhere: Virtual via Zoom – email our project coordinator at FishersIslandSeagrass@gmail.com for the link! \nWho: All members of the community are welcome! \nThe FISM Coalition has big plans for 2024 – we want to be part of the solution\, creating innovative paths to facilitate our community’s journey towards a more sustainable and resilient future. The Save Our Seagrass Movement aims to: \n\nbuild community interest and understanding of eelgrass\nprovide a path for the community to engage in seagrass-safe actions\nfoster pride towards our eelgrass meadows through a citizen scientist network. In 2023 we officially launched our movement\, and we are just getting started\n\nIn October\, the Coalition decided to focus on eelgrass mapping\, in-water indications of eelgrass meadows for boaters\, and improving community participation in our goals. During the February meeting we will discuss how to best implement these plans for the benefit of the community. \nThis meeting is an excellent opportunity for community members to discover the Coalition’s plans for 2024 and be part of the conversation that will determine our approach to our goals. Please contact our project coordinator\, Hannah Vagts\, at FishersIslandSeagrass@gmail.com to join us online! \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nPictured left\, FI Conservancy intern\, Anna White\, surveys the coast as part of training for Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Watch Survey Protocols.
