MeetingsThe Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership (formerly the N.H. Estuaries Project) is hosting a series of stakeholder meetings to update its Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for the Great Bay Estuary and Hampton-Seabrook Estuary watersheds. This is an opportunity to help revise the goals and objectives of the plan that will guide the Partnership’s actions in the next 10 years and determine future Partnership support for projects.The process to update the CCMP is divided into three theme areas: Water Resources, Land Use and Habitat Protection, and Living Resources and Habitat Restoration. Each theme has three meetings: The first is intended to establish goals and objectives, the second will establish action plans, and the third will prioritize the actions in the plan. Even though this is a sequential design, we encourage participation from interested stakeholders at any of the meetings. |

 On Sunday, March 15, a group of 19 birdwatchers from as far away as Vermont and Castine, Maine, joined their tour guide, Eric Masterson, for a beautiful day out at Jefferys Ledge and the Isles of Shoals on the R/V Gulf Challenger. Birds sighted included guillemots, murres, razorbills, puffins, fulmars, brants, loons, Canada geese and several varieties of seagulls and ducks. On the ocean side of the Isles of Shoals, a peregrine falcon was sighted pursuing a group of ducks. |
