DescEnvironmental Research: Since its founding, the Lloyd Center has focused its research activities on assessing and documenting the distribution and ecology of the natural resources of southeastern New England. Collaborating with Tufts University, the Lloyd Center completed its 13th year as the Buzzards Bay coordinator of the Seabird Stranding Network, documenting instances of seabird mortality and live-bird activity on the western shoreline of Buzzards Bay. Lloyd Center scientists conducted rare-species habitat assessments on Martha's Vineyard, and a number of other nearby locations. The Center also gathered baseline data for its Biodiversity Initiative, documenting the biota of southeastern Massachusetts. The Center continued its collaboration with Martha's Vineyard conservation agencies. In addition to its continuing work in protecting Piping Plovers and state threatened species including Diamondback Terrapins on the Commonwealth's Division of Conservation and Recreation beaches in Bristol County, the Center completed its 30th year of monitoring and protecting the federally-listed ("threatened") Piping Plovers. Research staff also participated in Bioblitzes in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as the Rhode Island East Bay and the Massachusetts Bristol County North American Butterfly Association's Fourth of July Butterfly Counts. Rare species (insects) surveys were conducted across eastern Massachusetts. Habitat evaluation of impacts on a rare moth, Papaipema sulphurata, as part of a salt marsh restoration plan was conducted for Friends of Herring River.Desc

DescEnvironmental Education: The Lloyd Center continues to provide an increasing number of unique hands-on science programs for schoolchildren and adolescents in over 20 different New England cities and towns, at levels ranging from kindergarten through college. This past year, the Lloyd Center worked with over 40 elementary and middle schools in the region, visiting a growing number of students on a regular basis to teach interactive lessons on relevant and critically important environmental issues. Three of the curriculum-based offerings, Feathery Focus (an ornithology program specially created for the third-grade level) and Turn-the-Tide (a program dealing with the ecosystems of local estuaries, taught on the fifth-grade level), as well as the Climate Science Learning Project have proven to be especially effective. All education programs are designed to meet the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in Science and Technology/Engineering and in History/Social Studies. For children ages 5-15, the Center's Education Department annually provides up to 15 distinct summer programs designed to help students develop a better understanding of science and a deeper appreciation for the need to protect the fragile nature of our coast. Every year, as many as 13,000 students benefit from the participation in Lloyd Center education programs.Desc

DescEnvironmental Outreach: The Lloyd Center offers a wide variety of programs designed to engage the minds of southeastern New England citizens of all ages, expanding their understanding of the fragile nature of our coastal environment and the importance of working together to protect it. This past year over 2,900 people participated in programs, which included canoe tours, kayak trips, birthday parties, nature walks, shore-birding expeditions, seal-watches, whale-watches, midnight "owl-prowls", and Family Fun Day events, butterfly and moth identification workshops, as well as our annual fall rowing and paddling regatta, designed to raise awareness of the threats facing the delicate ecosystems of local estuaries. Five miles of rustic hiking trails, open to the public every day from dawn to dusk on the Lloyd Center's Hardscrabble Nature Preserve, and a broad variety of live marine animal exhibits, complemented by programs and seminars, continue to draw a growing number of citizens of all ages to our Visitor Center. In addition, outreach collaboration with partnering organizations continues to prove exceptionally effective in promoting lifestyle changes aimed at a more sustainable use of natural resources. The Center's unique website provides a vast amount of environmental research and education information for those who seek it electronically.Desc
