SUMMARY:Underwater in Salem Sound Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Legacy Nutrients Below: Sediment’s Role in Salem Harbor Water Quality  \n\n\n\n** This is a hybrid program which can be attended in person OR online via Zoom. \n\n\n\n Attend in person by registering below. \n\n\n\nAttend online via Zoom by registering HERE \n\n\n\nSince 2010\, Dr. Brad Hubeny has been investigating the water quality of Salem Harbor in collaboration with Salem Sound Coastwatch. What started as a simple question about water clarity changes has led to a multi-decade partnership and fascinating continuous research. Our 2022 Underwater in Salem Sound lecture focused on phytoplankton blooms as the cause of decreasing water clarity. We now look to the nutrient conditions and sources that influence those blooms. We hope to illuminate the role of the phosphorus and nitrogen sequestered in the sediments of Salem Harbor as a likely and under-studied source of nutrients\, and to share what we’ve found about the dynamics that influence the bioavailability of these elements in pore and bottom waters. \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 join via Zoom HERE. If registering for Zoom\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting online. \n\n\n\nDr. Brad Hubeny\, Professor and Lab Director at Salem State University\, is an environmental geoscientist who utilizes stratigraphic\, geomorphic\, geochemical\, and geophysical techniques to reconstruct past environmental and climatic conditions. He primarily works in coastal and lake systems\, and current research locations include Walden and Sluice Ponds\, as well as Salem\, Duxbury\, Kingston\, and Plymouth Harbors in Massachusetts. Generally\, Hubeny is interested in high-resolution records of climate variability during the Late Holocene and in pollution reconstructions (heavy metals\, eutrophication) from industrialized watersheds. \n\n\n\nRenee Veresh is an environmental geochemist with over ten years of experience in the field and lab. She currently manages the Viking Environmental Stable Isotope Lab at Salem State. Her research interests are broad\, ranging from paleoclimatology to nutrient cycling\, though she is usually involved in several water quality projects at once in partnership with SSCW\, MassBays NEP\, or Center for Coastal Studies (sometimes all three!). \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. An upcoming lecture will be on May 20.

SUMMARY:Bittersweet Battle: Round Two
DESCRIPTION:Join us for round two of our Bittersweet Battle at Winter Island Park! This event focuses on removing Oriental Bittersweet\, an aggressive invasive vine that can overtakes trees\, shrubs\, and native habitats. \n\n\n\nThis time\, we’ll be using the vines in the building of an Indigenous Fishing Weir with Salem’s 4th graders in early May. The weir will be public on May 9th! \n\n\n\nYour help makes a real difference in restoring native habitat and improving the health of our coastal landscapes! \n\n\n\nRegistration is required. To sign up\, please email Susan Marsh at susan.marsh@salemsound.org

SUMMARY:Underwater in Salem Sound Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Drifters — Ocean Currents in the Gulf of Maine and STEM Education \n\n\n\nPresentation Description: This past winter and spring\, Salem Sound Coastwatch’s School to Sea program led a Drifter Program with local students in the Salem Sound community with the help of an awarded MIT Sea Grant. The drifters are low cost and student-build devices that track currents via satellite telemetry. While giving real-time data on currents in the Gulf of Maine that contributes to NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System and validates numerical models\, students are also able to collect and analyze the data for their own education purposes. This program has been running since 2004 and was founded by the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation\, the Southern Maine Community College (SMCC)\, and NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center and since then\, more than 1\,500 different drifters have been deployed by 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.
