SUMMARY:Downeast Maine Puffins and Seabirds with Caretta Inspired Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Join Caretta Inspired Journeys for a taste of summer in Downeast Maine and experience the unique coastal islands of the North Atlantic! \nThis five-day excursion starts at the Bangor Maine Airport. From there we will travel to Rockland\, Maine for early afternoon briefings about about the Atlantic Puffins recovery at the Audubon Society’s Project Puffin. We will also learn about the protection and management of all the breeding seabirds on remote islands via an interactive zoom discussion with island researchers at the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (MCINWR). Accommodations for all five nights are provided at Schoodic Institute. We are fortunate to be able to provide private room accommodations in 2 and 4 bedroom apartments at Schoodic Institute. Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen and we will stop for grocery shopping on the way to Schoodic Institute that evening. \nThe trip includes a guided kayaking tour of Frenchman’s Bay on the 4th of July (weather-permitting\, fireworks from Bar Harbor and other coastal communities should be visible in the evening from where we’re staying). A MCINWR representative will guide a nature walk and beach clean-up activities on Petit Manan Point that is adjacent to a Puffin nesting colony. You’ll also have some time to make your own plans to take a group tour of Acadia National Park\, dine/shop in Bar Harbor\, or rent bikes/hike on the Schoodic Peninsula. Information on these DIY options will be sent when you register online. On Sunday\, July 7\, we will go on a two-hour Puffin Cruise out of Bar Harbor to benefit MCINWR through their Friends group. There will be staff on board who can communicate with island researchers to answer your questions. \nTo register\, click here.

SUMMARY:Project ASCO at Holbrook Island Santuary
DESCRIPTION:Please join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team on July 5\, 2024 from 3:30pm – 5:15pm at Holbrook Island Sanctuary (Harborside/Brooksville) as we head into Maine’s rocky intertidal to collect data on rockweed\, a foundational seaweed. Please register for this volunteer event below.  \nWe will begin the field day with a refresher training and then work together to collect along the shore at each site. To find our training videos\, please visit our Project ASCO page. \nParticipation in this event includes working with Schoodic Institute researchers in the rocky intertidal\, a place where slips\, trips\, and falls can be a concern due to wet or unsteady rocks and seaweed. Please come prepared with weather appropriate field gear\, long pants\, close toed shoes\, and enthusiasm for learning about Maine’s rocky intertidal ecosystem! \nProject ASCO is a participatory science research initiative designed to get interested participants out into the intertidal zone to collect data about rockweed while exploring the beauty of the rocky coast between the tides. Rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum\, or “Asco”) is the dominant species in most of the rocky intertidal zone of Maine and provides habitat for other species living in and visiting the intertidal zone. Rockweed is currently harvested in Maine and sustainable management requires knowledge of the total amount of rockweed throughout the state. Participants in Project ASCO can help answer the question\, “How much rockweed is there?” The data collected by Project ASCO participants will be analyzed and shared by scientists at Schoodic Institute to inform resource management. \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org.
