  1. #RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm

    May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

    Hallockville Museum Farm
    6038 Sound Avenue
    Riverhead NY

    Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.

    "Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber – from raw fleece to finished textile — at its historic North Fork campus.

    "A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, #spinning, and #weaving demonstrations, along with a #marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional #FiberArtists and #Artisans.

    "A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized #knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the #PaumanokWeavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat #NeedleFelted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and #BasketWeaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using #NaturalMaterials such as #silk, #seagrass, and #wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.

    "In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s #craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their #FiberArts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.

    " 'The Fleece & Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the #NorthFork,' said Executive Director Heather Johnson. 'It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire #makers today.'

    "The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers."

  11. Warming seas can threaten the hidden relationship that supports seagrass meadows

    "Seagrasses are often overlooked, but they are among the most important coastal habitats on Earth."

    "Our findings highlight an important idea: the impacts of climate change on seagrasses can’t be understood by looking at the plants alone. The microbial communities living in the sediment can also influence how these plants respond to warming. "

    "This has important implications for conservation and restoration. Around the world, seagrass meadows are declining due to coastal development, pollution and climate change. "

  21. Greece tests eco-moorings to protect Mediterranean Posidonia seagrass.

    New anchoring systems designed to protect Posidonia seagrass meadows – one of the Mediterranean’s most important yet fragile marine ecosystems – are being tested near Athens.

    Posidonia seagrass is a key Mediterranean habitat that stores carbon, filters seawater and supports marine life.

  22. Yesterday was #WorldSeagrassDay, @[email protected] is restoring these habitats in the Basque Country. In Butroe estuary we started in 2008 and the system is approaching slowly the good ecological status in 2025: it takes decades to recover degraded systems! #MarineEcology #Research #Seagrass

  23. fortunately, in Europe, the Water Framework Directive #WFD, has contributed to recover some systems, including many #Seagrass habitats #MarineEcology #Research

  24. Since then, loss rates slowed down for most species and fast-growing species recovered in some locations
    This resulted in a net rate of change in #seagrass area, experiencing a reversal in the 2000s, in Europe

  25. After some research, from 1869 to 2016, one third of European #seagrass area was lost due to disease, deteriorated water quality, and coastal development
    The highest decline was the 1970s and 1980s

  26. "Seagrass meadows have been in decline around Sydney Harbour for decades, with moorings from boats among the biggest threats."

    "Posidonia australis is a slow-growing plant native to the southern Australian coastline but is endangered in all six estuaries across New South Wales.The seagrass, which provides a safe and critical habitat for many juvenile fish, improves water quality, stabilises sediments and acts as a carbon sink by capturing and storing carbon dioxide, is struggling for survival."

    "Purpose-built moorings are designed to remain buoyant, removing the need for traditional heavy chains dragging along the seabed, disturbing the seagrass marine ecology."
