[SEMCO] 2017 State of Wellfleet Harbor Conference: This Saturday at Wellfleet Elementary

[Jenette Kerr]

The 15th annual State of Wellfleet Harbor Conference will be held this Saturday, November 4 from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM at the Wellfleet Elementary School at 100 Lawrence Road. The event is free and open to all.

Appropriately, this year's conference has a water theme-protecting and improving local waterways, the threat of rising seawater as the climate warms, and what's being learned to anticipate and respond to dolphin strandings.  Among this year's presentations:

Sea Level is Rising and Wellfleet Harbor is Sinking: What Will the Future Look Like?
The Who, What, When, Where, and Why of Horseshoe Crabs in Wellfleet Harbor: A Three-Year Study
Herring River Restoration Can Open Closed Shellfish Beds: The Seawater Solution
Acoustic Cues Associated with Cetacean Mass Stranding Events
Cetacean Strandings on Cape Cod: An Overview of Occurrence and Techniques

Food donations are being made by Mac's Seafood, the Wellfleet Box Lunch, Wellfleet Marketplace, The Wicked Oyster, and PB Boulangerie.
