CCE Suffolk County Features Sea Grant's Hard Clam Selective Breeding Project (September 2023)

Riverhead, NY, September 18, 2023 - On the Water + In the Field is a news magazine show produced by the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program (CCE Marine Program) that seeks to educate on current projects, issues, and research pertaining to our marine environment.

In Episode #23, the CCE Marine Program takes you out to Shelter Island for an update on our shellfish and habitat restoration efforts from a grant provided by the Town of Shelter Island, NY's Community Preservation Fund.

Next, they travel to Tiana Bay Side Facility and introduce you to Tiana Turtle and then, starting at 15:18 and running until 21:06, highlight some technical hard clam research led by New York Sea Grant called the Hard Clam Selective Breeding Collaborative.

You’ll also get an update on what's been going on with the Back to the Bays initiative, including an introduction to featured artist Scott Bluedorn Fine Art and Illustration.
