Eelgrass Stewardship Session: Seed Net Assembly + Deployment @ Tiana

Funding for this workshop has been provided by the New York Department of State’s
Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Program, Blue Carbon Project

Help CCE Marine's Habitat Team restore Long Island’s eelgrass populations! Participants will learn about the biology and importance of eelgrass as we discuss the causes of its population decrease and the ways that CCE is working to restore it. Then participate in hands-on stewardship by stocking the nets of our buoy deployed seeding operation off Tiana Bayside Facility.

All ages are welcome, but children under 10 may need parental assistance.

The event will be held outside onshore at Tiana Bayside Facility, Hampton Bays.

This FREE Stewardship Session is made possible by contributions to our Stewardship Program. We encourage all participants to become an official 2024 Back to the Bays Steward. To learn more about the program and register, visit backtothebays.org/stewardship.

You may also register as a Steward as an ADD-ON during registration here on eventbrite.
