Silver eel Cove debris by Justine Kibbe

Scene 1 Take 3: Island’s Portal and Marine Debris within Silver Eel Cove this morning.
I feel as though I share this exact video moment each year; perhaps it feels “close to home”?-underneath today’s slopping plastic gunk is the exact same rock that decades ago as a tiny kid I loved to jump off, into the clear and clean ocean…

I am Thankful though for the opportunity to work with the Conservancy and voice the need for support and stewardship from each and everyone of us that will conserve our precious Fishers Island for years to come.

South Beach seaweed by Justine Kibbe

Today’s low tide: Autumnal winds with ocean swells and surge help to promote the shedding of “seaweeds”, creating thick berms of mixed kelps, reds, browns, and green algae.

Pristine South Beach, Fishers Island.

Keep. Long Island Sound. Healthy.

Today’s Hungry Point Activity: Harbor seals clump together, Common Eider raft together; fishermen and their boats, they do too.

Love Our Healthy Seagrass Meadows!
