Arey's Pond 2023 Spring Seminar
Our 2023 Spring Seminar took place on Earth Day (Saturday April 22nd). We had an update on safety, boatbuilding projects, events and changes in the bay from Tony Davis. Then we heard from Maura Terrell about the Namequoit Sailing Association's racing series. We finished with an important talk by Mark Faherty from Mass Audubon about the regulation of horseshoe crab harvest in Massachusetts and how we can help.
