UNH Researchers Track Lobster Migrations to Improve Population EstimatesUNH Ph.D. candidate Jason Goldstein holds a lobster with a temperature logger, an ultrasonic transmitter and a return tag. These items are secured to the lobster like a lightweight backpack to help UNH researchers learn about their migration patterns.

CICEET Awards $299,000 for New Tool to Detect Toxic PollutantsThe UNH/NOAA Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET) has awarded $299,000 to test a new way of detecting PBDEs and other emerging toxic pollutants and predict the threat they pose to marine life. The grant goes to a research team based at the University of Rhode Island that is working in partnership with the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) to demonstrate this new technology and make the coastal resource management community aware of the project’s progress and results. |

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. |

Habitat Protection and RestorationThe Piscataqua Region Estuaries Project (Formerly NHEP) is one of 12 programs featured in the newly published Habitat Protection and Restoration from the U.S EPA National Estuary Program. The 100-page book highlights a variety of projects by estuary programs across the country that preserve fragile ecosystems and enhance degraded coastal watersheds. Featured projects include oyster gardening in Delaware, invasive plant control in North Carolina, anadromous fish passage projects around the Long Island Sound, seagrass recovery in Florida, tidal flow restoration in Oregon, and land protection in New Hampshire. Copies are free and can be ordered by emailing a request to NHEP.Assistance@unh.edu. |
