Grad students from the Pikitch Lab will explain what ShiRP is and what they’re up to in Shinnecock Bay. Demonstrations will include a close-up look at marine micro-organisms, a dramatic example of the cleaning power of bivalves and a hands-on touch tank.

Discover how this group is using native eelgrass and millions of shellfish to combat pollution and restore the health of this beautiful bay.

This is local, immediate and important science in service to the environment. Learn about the program The New York Times said, “means to fix the problem, not just study it.”

Earthstock, April 16th, 2 to 4pm, Stony Brook University, Student Activities Center
