This morning I needed to remind myself that the beauty and uniqueness of our Island far outweigh the so-called “winter doldrums”!

I thought too, to remind the community that there will be a quarterly Fishers Island Seagrass Management meeting Wed. (Jan. 30) from 1-4 p.m. at the Ferguson Museum. A coalition forming to preserve, restore and protect the fewer than 400 acres of eelgrass meadows hugging Fishers Island.

Plastic Debris

Plastic Debris

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

Total 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!
