Back to the Bays is thrilled to share the success of our recent art and awareness event, This is Seaweed, hosted at Ashawagh Hall in East Hampton. The opening reception on July 19th was a remarkable evening, with a tremendous turnout and an incredible show of support for our Back to the Bays Seaweed Initiative.

Thanks to funding by East Hampton’s Community Preservation Fund, CCE Marine Program has been working in many waterbodies within East Hampton to identify where the highest levels of groundwater nutrients enter the water, with the goal of mitigating algae blooms and impoving water quality.
