Science teacher, Gwynne Millar, spent 2 days on Prudence Island at the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Preserve studying estuaries. The Teachers on the Estuary (TOTE) program is sponsored by NOA. There she tagged Monarch butterflies, collected data on estuary health and the impact due to climate change and used a seine net to identify and count beneficial organisms as an indicator of estuary health. She plans to take some students to the preserve in the spring to help them better understand human impact on the environment and about the collaborative efforts among many federal, state and local organizations working to protect and restore these vital habitats.
