Maine Sea Grant ‘Estuary Beat’ column appearing in Working Waterfront

Maine Sea Grant has started a new collaboration with The Working Waterfront newspaper, published monthly by the Rockland, Maine-based Island Institute. The “Estuary Beat” column provides short updates on science and environment news, research and events in Maine’s coastal rivers, bays and harbors. Written by Catherine Schmitt, Sea Grant communications director, the goal of the column is to share information from the most inland reaches of the sea. Recent columns include “Casco Bay and oil, hydro-acoustic in PenBay,” and “Cleaning the Medomak, a beach conference, and fish passage in the Bagaduce.” Send estuary news to catherine.schmitt@maine.edu.
