The Long Island Sound Eelgrass Collaborative June workshop will advance elements of the LIS Eelgrass Management and Restoration Strategy. Dr. Bradley Peterson from Stony Brook University will kick off the day with a keynote address on eelgrass and shellfish interactions, followed by two breakout sessions with three tracks: 1) restoration, 2) water quality, and 3) management (see agenda below). The goal of these breakouts is to hear from 2-3 speakers on each topic followed by discussion. Each breakout group will then identify ~2 priorities to advance eelgrass management and restoration for full group consideration during workshop wrap-up. Contact katie.lund@uconn.edu with questions.
