SUMMARY:Friends from the Field Webinar: A Field Guide to the Seaweeds of Maine
DESCRIPTION:Join Blue Hill Heritage Trust and Island Heritage Trust for a Friends from the Field Webinar!\n\nGlen Mittelhauser (director of Maine Natural History Observatory)\, Jordan Chalfant (MNHO board member)\, and Dr. Amanda Savoie (researcher at the Canadian Museum of Nature) are writing a user-friendly photographic field guide to the seaweeds of Maine. The project has several components: creating a database of thousands of historic records of seaweed observations in an effort to create a complete species list for the state of Maine; doing field work to update inventories\, collect morphometric data\, and take thousands of photographs; and lab work for microscopy images and DNA sampling.\n\nJordan Chalfant is a naturalist who lives in Bar Harbor and studies seaweed. After spending 10 years working as a field biologist\, doing botanical inventories and seabird monitoring on the Coast of Maine\, she has taken on managing The Naturalist’s Notebook\, a nature and science bookstore in Seal Harbor\, as her day job.\n\nLearn more about this event here and use this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_v0KHRIrJQQWKCfE1hKgzGA\n\n\nEmail landere@bluehillheritagetrust.org if you have any questions!

SUMMARY:Seaweed ID Beach Walk
DESCRIPTION:TIME CHANGE!! NEW TIME IS 9:00-10:30 AM. \nThe Seaweed Week species ID beach walk is back for our 5th annual event! \nHow many species of seaweed are there in Maine? Do seaweeds change with the season? What even is seaweed? \nDive into these questions and more at this species-identification workshop and beach walk\, hosted by Maine Sea Grant’s seaweed specialist\, Jaclyn Robidoux. \nWe’ll explore the intertidal zone at low tide near Two Lights State Park and learn to identify edible seaweed species native to the Gulf of Maine. Discover the ecology and diversity of seaweeds\, while learning about the environmental benefits these species provide in coastal habitats. We’ll discuss sustainable harvest\, Maine’s growing seaweed farming industry\, and the role this versatile resource plays in Maine’s marine economy. Bring your seaweed questions and we’ll provide the field guides! \nRSVP here! \nIMPORTANT NOTE\nWe’ll be moving through slick and rocky terrain. Please wear proper foot gear (rubber boots/shoes with good traction that may get wet). It can be colder and more windy on the ocean. Dress accordingly for a few hours in the Maine outdoors. \nDIRECTIONS\nLocation: Dyer Cove\, Cape Elizabeth\, ME. Follow directions to Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth\, ME. To get to Dyer Cove\, bear left at the fork right before the park entrance and follow to the public parking lot at the end of Two Lights Road (right near The Lobster Shack).
