Join us for an eelgrass-weaving workshop at our Suffolk County Marine Environmental Learning Center in Southold!

Eelgrass serves as essential habitat to many of our local marine species. Eelgrass meadows have been on the decline in recent decades, but we are working to bring them back. Restoring our local eelgrass meadows will result in the creation of habitat for many fish and shellfish species, help protect our shorelines from erosion, and improve the overall health and productivity of our bays.

This hands-on workshop will provide participants of all ages a chance to learn about the importance of eelgrass to our marine ecosystem, while helping CCE Staff assemble eelgrass planting units for use in local restoration efforts.
This event is open to nature enthusiasts of all ages! Participants under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!!!
