SUMMARY:Underwater in Salem Sound Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Drifters — Ocean Currents in the Gulf of Maine and STEM Education \n\n\n\n** This is a hybrid program which can be attended in person OR online via Zoom. \n\n\n\nIn Person Registration  HERE \n\n\n\nOnline Zoom Registration HERE \n\n\n\nPresentation Description:  \n\n\n\nWhere would you end up if you were carried by the ocean from Salem Sound? This past winter and spring\, Salem High School students explored that question together with Salem Sound Coastwatch\, supported by MIT Sea Grant funding. Students built and launched two floating drifters that travel with ocean currents and send back real-time data via satellite. \n\n\n\nThe drifters are revealing how water moves through the Gulf of Maine\, contributing to systems like NOAA Integrated Ocean Observing System and improving ocean models—while giving students the chance to analyze their own data and take part in real scientific research. \n\n\n\nFounded in 2004 by partners including the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation\, Southern Maine Community College\, and NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center\, the program has deployed more than 1\,500 drifters with about 100 schools. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Alex Borreil is an Educator for the School to Sea program for Salem Sound Coastwatch and holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges. In addition to being an educator\, she was also the Principal Investigator for the drifter program. Previous to coming to Salem\, Alex spent a collective six years leading and creating field and classroom-based marine science courses and research projects for students in the Caribbean and Florida Keys. As a New England Native\, her goal is to inspire young scientists to continue learning and protecting their local coastlines through hands-on educational experiences.   \n\n\n\nFor the past fourteen years\, Underwater in Salem Sound has been jointly sponsored by Salem Sound Coastwatch and Abbot Public Library. All the lectures are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Water Quality Monitoring - Training Session
DESCRIPTION:Help protect the health of Salem Sound this summer by joining our water quality monitoring program. Volunteers collect water samples from local streams and stormwater outfalls to identify sources of pollution before they reach our beaches. \n\n\n\nFor over three decades\, Salem Sound Coastwatch has partnered with local communities to track bacteria pollution and improve water quality. Your participation supports cleaner beaches\, safer swimming\, and healthier coastal ecosystems. \n\n\n\nVolunteers sample every two weeks from June through August\, with all samples analyzed for Enterococcus\, a key indicator of potential public health risk in marine waters. \n\n\n\nInterested in being a water quality tester this summer? Then join our training program on May 27th or 28th! No experience needed\, just a willingness to get involved. \n\n\n\nRegistration required: email Susan Marsh at susan.marsh@salemsound.org and indicate which day you plan to attend.
