Northeast Cove Panels, sightings and GOMI projects





















What a gorgeous day! Boy the sun feels good after the ice and snow storms we have been gettin lately. Went for a hike today to Gooseberry Cove and sighted 2 Purple Sandpipers sunning themselves on the rocks. Also 4 Robins were hunting for worms on my friends front lawn. Maybe that is a sure sign spring is around the corner!
I wanted to share with you some of the work i have been doing. These are signs i designed along with Roger Outhouse on different habitats, sea level rise, climate change and how it affects our coastal comminuties. As i mention in my bio i am one of the team leaders along with Roger for the DigbyNeck/Islands Gulf of Maine Institute Youth team. Our project this year is about this subject. We have worked with COGGS who helped with the map on one of the panels and where the sea level rise would be and what that might do to our community in 2110 with and without a storm surge. Along with survey's,we plan to make a video about this topic. Wish us luck! Our conference this year is in Boston and our mini conference will be in Bear River. Will post our conference and once our video is done try to upload it to youtube for you to take a look. Hope everyone gets out and enjoys the day!
