Presentation
Shellfish Aquaculture Practices and Their Growing Importance on Cape Cod presented by Joshua Reitsma, Marine Program Specialist of Barnstable County Cooperative Extension and Woods Hole Sea Grant
Wednesday, February 21, 2018 from 11AM - 12PM
Jacob Sears Memorial Library, 23 Center Street, East Dennis
Description: Shellfish aquaculture has grown dramatically in recent years and has economic and potentially ecological importance to Cape Cod. Regional growing practices are important to commercial shellfish farms and municipal efforts to restore or enhance natural populations of shellfish. Efforts to propagate shellfish also provide increased volunteer opportunities.

Films

Chasing Coral
Wednesday, February 7, 2018 from 2 - 4 PM
Inspired by "Chasing Ice," Jeff Orlowski captures stunning evidence of massive coral bleaching across the world.  As coral reefs disappear a team of divers, photographers and scientists reveal why this is happening and what we can do to make it stop.

Deeply Rooted
Wednesday, March 14 from 2 - 4 PM
John Coykendall, a renowned heirloom seed saver, labors to preserve and learn about growing techniques, recipes and folktales of a Louisiana farming community.  By preserving seeds, he is able to pass on a legacy that our ancestors passed on to us.
