Barrier Beaches as Habitat for Rare Moths:

Westport Barrier Beach System as a Case Study

Presented by Mark Mello, Research Director for the Lloyd Center for the Environment

Barrier beaches, until recently, have often been ignored by Lepidopterists for providing
habitat for only a few hardy moths. The importance of barrier beaches and associated
coastal habitats has become more understood through recent survey efforts along 
coastal Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, but our knowledge is still 
incomplete. The survey work at the Westport Harbor barrier beach system, for which
the Buzzards Bay Coalition contracted the Lloyd Center, has added significantly 
to our understanding of barrier beaches' importance to moth biodiversity.  This 
presentation will highlight the habitat requirements for the four species listed
 in the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act as well as 20 additional rare or barrier
beach affiliated moths documented during this survey.

This talk is free and open to the public.

The Library is located at 408 Old County Road.

Contact Kristen at WestportLandTrust.org with any questions.

We hope to see you there.
