*Tuesday January22nd 7pm* *BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY, CENTRAL BRANCH AT GRAND ARMY PLAZA* *BBC Evening Presentation:* *Jake LaBelle**: The New York Seascape*
The New York Bight encompasses more than 16,000 square miles of coastal and ocean waters from Montauk, New York, to Cape May, New Jersey. It is an ecological treasure trove, providing critical migration routes for globally threatened species, including sea turtles, whales, and sharks, as well as nursery grounds and critical habitat for hundreds of other marine species. Jake LaBelle will describe how the Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium is engaged in field research, education and policy advocacy in order to help protect marine wildlife and help cultivate an ocean ethic in the region. http://brooklynbirdclub.org/event/noah-chesnin-presents-the-new-york-seascape/ Dennis Hehowsik Brooklyn NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
