The 2011 Blue Vision Summit is May 20-23, held by the Blue Frontier Campaign at George Washington University. Celebrating the oceans, sharing results and sucesses, networking with other ocean advocates from around the nation – it promises to be a very powerful event culminating in Capitol Hill Ocean Day. For more information, see the summit website.
This Saturday promises to be a lot of fun and a lot of gambas. We will be performing a piece I wrote in memory of Dominik Zuchowicz, a renowned viol maker and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Hope to see you Saturday, May 14, 4pm, at The Lutheran Church of Our Saviour’s Atonement, 178 Bennett Avenue (at 189th St.), New York, NY 10040-3830
Oysters are awesome animals, and not just for their ability to make pearls. These bivalve molluscs also are filter feeders, keeping nitrogen and algae in check.
What do you call a group of oysters? A bed, or oyster reef. Oyster beds provide important complex habitat for other critters, including snapping shrimp!
