SUMMARY:MDI Science Café: Landscape of Change - Imagining the Future Shore
DESCRIPTION:How will rising seas affect the places we care about? During MDI Biological Laboratory’s Science Café\, join Mount Desert Island Historical Society Executive Director Raney Bench\, artist Jennifer Booher\, and Schoodic Institute Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt as they discuss an ongoing project to document sea level rise around Mount Desert Island. \n\nHistorical images and records\, combined with the latest information on current and future sea level rise\, informed a project with Mount Desert Island High School to explore the future shoreline. The team will share perspectives from the students and community members\, lessons learned so far and what happens next. Schoodic Institute’s continued collaboration on Landscape of Change won an Award of Excellence from the American Association for State and Local History in 2022. \nMount Desert Historical Executive Director Raney Bench is passionate about the power of the past and how history impacts our daily lives. She has built a career in small museum work and loves to see people light up when they encounter an interesting or surprising object or artifact. Raney has worked in several small New England museums in education\, exhibits\, collections management\, and as an Executive Director. \nJennifer Steen Booher is an artist and conceptual photographer living on Mount Desert Island\, where she has been exploring and studying the intertidal zone for over 20 years. She’s fascinated by the way science and history intersect within issues like ecosystem dynamics\, climate change and marine debris. \nAs Science Communication Specialist\, Catherine Schmitt works with Schoodic Institute and National Park Service staff to write and share stories of science past and present\, manage communications for Second Century Stewardship\, and provide science communication training for researchers working in our national parks. \nThis event is free. Please register online here.

SUMMARY:Project ASCO Volunteer Training at Plummer Point
DESCRIPTION:Join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team in collaboration with Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust on May 17\, 2023 from 2:00pm – 5:00pm at Plummer Point (South Bristol\, Maine) to learn about and collect data on rockweed\, a foundational seaweed in Maine’s rocky intertidal! Please register for this volunteer training event below.\n \nProject ASCO is a citizen 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. \nDuring this training\, volunteers learn the Project ASCO research protocol in a hands-on setting by collecting data on rockweed in the rocky intertidal. At the end of the training\, volunteers are provided with field gear to collect their own data on rockweed and will be able to contribute to the Project ASCO database on the public data hub anecdata.org. \nActivities for this research training include 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! \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer training event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org. \n \nThank you for your interest. Registration has now closed for this volunteer training event. \n \n
