Join us for two evenings celebrating the eelgrass meadows of the Maritimes through storytelling, photography and art.
The event will showcase the scientific research, restoration efforts and community engagement that have made eelgrass conservation possible in our waters. Each evening will feature a series of short talks that will highlight various aspects of eelgrass conservation efforts in recent years, including
- Simon Ryder-Burbidge on kayak-based eelgrass monitoring with the EAC;
- Nicolas Winkler on venturing under the ice to photograph overwintering eelgrass;
- Dr. Kristina Boerder on CERI’s scientific and restoration work,
- and more!
We hope you join us for a chance to meet with our speakers and hear about the important work they’re doing.

- Thursday, April 23 from 6 to 8 p.m.
- Friday, April 24 from 6 to 8 p.m.
