Eelgrass Restoration Workshop

Join us for a day of kid-friendly conservation, fun, and education! Help us restore the Shinnecock Bay's dynamic ecosystem by preparing bundles to re-seed the area's eelgrass beds.

This event is completely free! 

Eelgrass bundling workshop 

10 am - 2 pm, Rain or Shine

Spend some time meeting new people, enjoying the waterfront, and learning about the Bay's ecology in this hands-on workshop! Stony Brook University researchers will show you how to prepare the eelgrass bundles that we use to rejuvenate the bay's ecology and water quality. No registration necessary.

Please note that spaces for the 2pm boat excursion have filled up, but we would still love to see you at our eelgrass workshop! If you signed up for the boat excursion you should have gotten an email from Maria Grima at shinnecockbay@gmail.com- waivers are due Thursday by 5:00pm.

Important details:

• Please bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. We will be outside all day, so be sure you're prepared!
• Dress appropriately! If you are registered to join us on the boat, that means closed-toed shoes, a hat, and a sweatshirt in case it gets windy.
• Please plan to arrive at 10:00 am! The time for the boat launch will depend on how quickly we prepare eelgrass, so please don't show up in the middle of the afternoon -- we may have already left!
• Parking details - please be sure to park at the nearby Southampton Campus parking lot. The gravel lot by the Marine Station will not be available for public parking.
