Researchers from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center are partering with the West and Rhode Riverkeeper and student researchers from South River High School to learn more about how to improve the growth and survival of oysters in the West and Rhode Rivers. We need volunteers to help us count baby oysters on Sunday, October 14 from 9AM to 1PM.
Volunteers will be working on the SERC dock to count and measure the spat. Volunteers ages 12+ are welcome. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a participating adult.
Please contact Alison Cawood (cawooda@si.edu, 443-482-2271) for more information.
