They operate from aboard the historic 60' sailing vessel, <i>American Promise</i>, throughout New England’s waters and from partner docks and vessels throughout the US. Rachael Miller, Rozalia Project's Founder and Executive Director, will lead an interactive introduction about the problem of marine debris in our waters here in New England (as well as those thousands of miles away), and take participants through Rozalia Project’s research results and realistic solutions that we can all embrace. The presentation will conclude with highlights from Rozalia Project's trash-hunting adventures including getting attacked by a lobster and making some unusual finds while picking up over 565,000 pieces of ocean trash with 25,000 participants all over the US.<i> </i>To register please visit www. asri.org or call 401-245-7500.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lecture fee: $10.00 non-member; $8.00 Audubon Society of RI member, $5.00 student fee.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Anne DiMonti<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Director, Environmental Education Center<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Audubon Society of Rhode Island</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Environmental Education Center</span><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1401 Hope Street, Bristol, RI 02809</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Tel: 401-245-7500 ext. 3116<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Fax: 401-245-9339<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:adimonti@asri.org"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>adimonti@asri.org</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 width=65 height=59 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CF549F.E478F7E0" alt=asrilogo2> <span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Connecting People With Nature</span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Stay informed all month long with </span><a href="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/manage/optin?v=001ieV-zHAN3Fv3DAln1bxGgPJ8UCBUcz2N"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>eWing</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Audubon’s monthly e-newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Follow us online: </span><a href="http://www.asri.org/"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Website</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> ~ </span><a href="http://twitter.com/riaudubon"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Twitter</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> ~ </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audubon-Society-of-Rhode-Island/106600095028"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Facebook</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:5.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.asri.org/donate/donate.html?Itemid=0"><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Consider supporting Audubon by making a donation today!</span></i></a><i><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:blue'><o:p></o:p></span></u></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert C.
