On Thursday, June 16 at 7:30 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History will
present Salt Marsh Monitoring with Tara Nye, staff biologist of the
Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC). This program is free to the public.
 
As noted by the APCC, "Salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems
in the world. They provide habitat for wildlife, serve as nurseries for fish
and shellfish, store floodwaters and protect our shorelines against storm
damage. Cape Cod salt marshes provide nesting, feeding, and breeding habitat
for a variety of animals, including rare and endangered species. Among these
are the rare and protected northern harrier, least tern, king rail, river
herring, the Massachusetts-listed diamond-backed terrapin and eastern box
turtle."
 
Do you want to be an effective voice in the protection and restoration of
Cape Cod salt marshes? Come and hear Tara Nye speak on the skilled volunteer
monitor program that collects scientific information on water salinity,
plants, birds and fish as key indicators of salt marsh health.
