The Island View Monthly Newsletter

May 2019 Dear Shoals Community,   Being a donor-supported organization means that Shoals Marine Laboratory is connected with a community who are passionate about the oceans, sustainability, education, and science. I believe this engagement leads us all to a life filled with meaning and impact for all of us.  The oceans need passionate, well-informed people as advocates and stewards, and so does SML.   The (603) Challenge is an annual, online-only fundraising campaign that offers everyone the chance to make a gift to SML that will be amplified through one of the many gift matching and bonus challenges. For example, gifts up to $150 will be matched dollar for dollar per donor until the matching funds run out (double your money!). There are also surprise bonus challenges throughout the week that can make your gift go even further. Importantly, If SML can obtain 60 gifts, we will unlock bonus funds just for SML! Gifts in any amount count towards these 60 gifts! The (603) Challenge starts May 19, 2019 and ends May 23, 2019 . Sixty gifts is a big number, we need your help to unlock this gift, please reach out to your SML network to help us maximize support for SML’s mission!   Thank you so much for your help! Together, we are investing in SML’s life changing experiences for our students and our community.

With deep appreciation and warm wishes, Jennifer Seavey, Ph.D. Kingsbury Executive Director Shoals Marine Laboratory

Global Issues with a Local Focus

Sustainable Fisheries June 10-24, 2019 Fisheries are a vital industry in the Gulf of Maine. With climate change warming our waters and evolving management policy to counter overfishing, sustainable fishing practices are needed now more than ever! Sustainable Fisheries students spend time on commercial fishing vessels, learn cultural and socio-economic issues impacting the industry, and collect and dissect fish to learn about important species in the Gulf of Maine. Climate Change and the Gulf of Maine June 24 - July 1, 2019 The Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest warming bodies of water in the world. Climate change on the coast impacts sea level, ocean chemistry, marine ecology, and coastal communities. Students in this course gain the tools to analyze how the Gulf of Maine is changing, examine response policies, employ modeling skills, and determine the impacts on marine ecology in the region.
