Workshop

Well, that workshop went well. I got some good feedback on my conclusion, which sounded like an advertisement. I also got some information on how I need to add more research and more detail when it comes to types of fish. They liked the personal experiences I added in the article. I also changed my publication, because the way i wrote the paper, doesnt really fit Orion Magazine, so im going to be sending this to On The Water Magazine that my friend Molly introduced me to tonight!! This magazine is better because its for all fisherman in New England, and they will no more about the subject than me giving them so much research based material. I just finished the edits and changed the conclusion around so it hopefully doesnt sound so much like an advertisement anymore and sent it to Molly for her to edit again for me. I am thankful to her because since we are both interested in fish we can relate and help each other more one on one. I will be updating this more and more throughout the next week as I make more edits and finish up the project. Talk to you all soon!!

  1. Hey Shelley,
    I am Terry Backer and the Long Island Soundkeeper (www.Soundkeeper.org. I am my family have been oystermen and lobstermen in the Sound forever. First recorded oyster ground were my Great great great a bunch of greats grandfather's in 1828. We have been at it ever since. In both my capacities I know the Sound is warming. Being at the end of the southern inshore range for some cold water adapted species like lobsters and winter flounder I believe I see over the years a decline in recruitment... Of course there are competing issues of habitat loss, water quality .. dissolved oxygen and contaminates ..Also. large power plant sea water withdrawals factor in in certain embayment areas.

    Wish you the best of luck on your paper..
