Update – Shellfish resilience project

Dr. Heather Leslie presented the Final Report on the 2019 Shellfish Resilience Project to the Joint Shellfish Committee of the Towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle on Jan 2, 2020.

This presentation followed on an earlier presentation by Dr. Kara Pellowe, postdoc in the Leslie lab, in September 2019. Kara’s presentation was reported in the local newspaper,  Lincoln County News.

This project is a collaboration between the Joint Shellfish Committee of the Towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle and the University of Maine Darling Marine Center. It was funded by the Broad Reach Fund and is part of the Maine Shellfish Resilience Network.
