Unfortunately Marine Debris is a constant here on Fishers Island. But thru winter, spring, summer and fall, stewardship can continue to outlive it all!

Super Blood Wolf MoonTotal lunar eclipse starring: SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON
Winter skies are the “happening place” this Saturday (1/19/19) 10:10 p.m. thru Sunday (1/20/19) 2:15 a.m. EST.
You’ll recognize the Super Moon by its size (truly closest to earth!) and by its reddish hues produced by shadow. By all means—something to howl about!

This Common Dolphin (note yellow/grayish hourglass on side) was discovered northside up east. I want to thank Jr Edwards for photo documenting and remind our Community to call Mystic Aquarium 860-572-5955 EXT 107. As part of North Atlantic Region Stranding Network; our Island’s first responders will be contacted either to assist in a live stranding or document a marine mammal fatality. This includes whales, dolphins, seals and sea turtles.

Bundle up and head out to Big Club Golf Course!
This should be a good year for the Geminids. There’s not too much light from the Moon during the evening, and then the Moon sets around 10 or 11 p.m., leaving the sky dark for the peak hours until dawn.*
