SUMMARY:Underwater in Salem Sound Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Beverly’s Ghost Gear Challenge: A Winter Recovery Mission  \n\n\n\n** This is a hybrid program which can be attended in person OR online via Zoom.  \n\n\n\nAttend online via Zoom by registering HERE \n\n\n\nSpeaker:  Capt. Peter Dickman\, Beverly Harbormaster  \n\n\n\nTalk Description Lobstering has shaped the North Shore for centuries\, transforming lobster from “poor man’s food” into a valuable commercial fishery and a core part of the region’s maritime heritage. As fishing gear evolved from wood to long-lasting wire\, new challenges emerged. Lost or abandoned lobster traps can persist on the seafloor for decades\, continuing to capture marine life in a process called ghost fishing. This derelict gear harms habitat\, affects fisheries\, and is a growing concern in harbors worldwide.  \n\n\n\nHarbormaster Peter Dickman will explain how recent changes in maritime law have made it possible for coastal communities to address this issue and will present plans for the Beverly Harbor Derelict Trap Recovery Project. Funded through a Fishing Trap Removal Assessment and Prevention program grant from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science\, the project will use scuba-based recovery operations over two winter periods to locate\, remove\, and document abandoned traps\, improve marine habitat\, and support sustainable reuse or recycling of recovered materials. Learn about this collaborative effort to protect marine life\, support sustainable fishing\, and honor the working waterfront tradition.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:  \n\n\n\nCapt. Peter Dickman has served as Harbormaster for Beverly\, Massachusetts\, since July 2022 and is a lifelong mariner and Beverly native. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and a Master 100-ton Merchant Mariner Credential. Capt. Dickman has hands-on experience in maritime safety\, vessel operations\, and local waters management\, and will be spearheading a derelict fishing trap recovery project in Beverly Harbor. A dedicated environmental steward\, he unites local divers\, fishermen\, students\, and organizations to protect and restore the harbor\, creating lasting benefits for the marine environment.  \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. Upcoming lectures will be on April 15 and May 20. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required. Attendance to join in person is limited to 50 attendants\, or attend online via Zoom. Please register to join IN PERSON BELOW or VIA ZOOM HERE. If registering for Zoom\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting online. \n\n\n\nFor more events and to register in person\, please visit abbotlibrary.org/events.

Many ducks and other waterfowl migrate south from their Arctic breeding grounds to spend the winter feeding on the rich fish and invertebrate life beneath the Sound’s waters. In this talk\, we will explore the bird species that make Salem Sound and the surrounding area their home during what is often our harshest season. We will also highlight results from Salem Sound Coastwatch’s winter waterfowl survey\, a long-running volunteer-based monitoring effort that began in the 1990s to track wintering waterbird populations in Salem Sound. Tracking long-term trends in winter waterfowl diversity and abundance helps provide insight into the overall health of Salem Sound’s coastal ecosystem. The presentation will discuss how the survey helps fill gaps left by other regional bird counts\, how data are used to examine long-term trends\, and how community members can participate. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bios: \n\n\n\nRobert Buchsbaum recently retired after a 32 year career as a Coastal Ecologist with Mass Audubon. Robert received a B.S. from Cornell University majoring in Natural Resources and a Ph.D. studying geese on salt marshes from the Boston University Marine Program. At Mass Audubon he coordinated a statewide bird monitoring program on sanctuaries and conducted extensive avian studies on salt marshes \n\n\n\nAnna Sheridan is the Project Specialist and Greenscapes Coordinator at Salem Sound Coastwatch\, where she supports stormwater management outreach and education efforts across the North Shore. She leads Salem Sound Coastwatch’s winter waterfowl survey\, a volunteer-based monitoring program. Anna received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Albright College and previously worked with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation as a Shorebird Conservationist. \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. Upcoming lectures will be on March 18\, April 15\, and May 20. \n\n\n\nFor more events and to register in person\, please visit abbotlibrary.org/events.
