Fred Elser First Sunday Science at the Seaside Center

Sunday, August 7, 2016 — 1:30pm - 4:00pm

New Projects from the Greenwich Shellfish Commission

Family activities all afternoon. At 2 pm, learn about plans to build oyster reefs in Greenwich Cove, farm clam beds untouched in 30 years, and improve local water quality. Hear from the Greenwich Shellfish Commission about a collaboration with the Conservation Commission, UConn and NOAA on water testing in the Sound. Commercial shellfishermen from Atlantic Clam Farms and Stella Mar Oysters will discuss shellfishing in local waters and offer a "tasting" of local shellfish.

Held at the Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point Park, Old Greenwich. For complimentary Park admission let the front gate personnel know you are attending the First Sunday Science program or contact cynthiae@brucemuseum.org for information. Free. No registration required.
