[SEMCO] A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words- Tuesday, Research at the Reserve, WBNERR

[Muller, Joan (DCR)]

Research @ Reserve Coffee House looks at Our Changing Coastal Habitats
On Tuesday, April 15 at 7:00 pm, Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve's Community Coffee House series, Research at the Reserve presents James Rassman, the Reserve's Stewardship Coordinator speaking about changes in the landscape, "Too Much, Too Fast."
Change is a normal part of our natural world.  But too much change too fast can cause problems.  Join our Stewardship Coordinator for an evening of looking at change in our coastal habitats.  The Reserve has been using aerial photographs and computer software programs to map habitats and how they have changed over the past decade.  The results show some interesting trends. We will talk about the habitats, what might be happening out there, and how that affects the dunes, beaches, and marshes we love.
Doors open at 6:45 pm with a chance to view the exhibits in the visitor center and sample some homemade sweets and coffee and tea. Participants are encouraged to bring their own mug as well as a flashlight for traveling from the parking lot.  Admission is free. For more information, call 508-457-0495 x 107 or 108. Waquoit Bay Reserve is located at 131 Waquoit Highway (Route 28), Waquoit, Massachusetts.
