Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary worked with the Town of Wellfleet,
The Nature Conservancy, NOAA, and other partners to establish an oyster reef
habitat in South Wellfleet on the sanctuary's tidal flats with the goal of
studying how such a reef is impacted by natural mortality, disease, and
harvest. The reef's ecological benefits to the area are also being studied. Bob
Prescott and Mark Faherty of Mass Audubon will share information on how the
project is progressing.</span><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

short documentary is about fishermen struggling to keep their generations-long
way of life intact in Port Clyde, Maine. It follows a group of local fishermen
as they work to become stewards of their fishery. Their cooperative creates an
environmentally-friendly operation in order to save their access to fishing
grounds and develops new ways of fishing, experimenting with innovative gears
and fishing practices. On land, they retool how their catch is sold, marketing
their fish as a high-quality local product that comes fresh off the boat and
straight to the public. Ultimately, it is the consumers who have the choice to
find out where their seafood comes from and support local, family-owned boats
to ensure sustainable seafood for the future. </span>“<span

film screening will be followed by a conversation with filmmaker Will Hyler,

the Gulf coast is thousands of miles away from the Cape’s shoreline,
information gathered from studying the immediate and long-term impacts of the
oil spill, especially in relationship to the fishing industry and biology of
coastal ecosystems, is valuable across borders. Judy McDowell, Senior Scientist
at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute will shed light on what concerns
scientists have for that region and what studies are currently being conducted
