Get to Know Your Local EcoSystem on Dec. 7

Marine Biologist Michael Johnson will speak on Coastal Ecosystems: Our Best Shoreline
Protection Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. at Parker River Wildlife Refuge Auditorium, 6 Plum
Island Turnpike.

The eects of climate change on human infrastructure are being experienced in communities
around the world today by the carbon dioxide emissions already released into the atmosphere. As
emissions grow, these impacts are expected to become more frequent and intense. While climate
mitigation (reduction in emissions) is a critical component in our climate strategy, adaptation to
climate change will become increasingly vital to both human and natural ecosystem survival.

Fortunately, there are co-benefits to protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems and protecting
human coastal infrastructure. Maintaining and restoring healthy and resilient coastal ecosystems
not only provides valuable services in the form of healthy seafood, tourism, and recreation, but
also can increase protection from rising sea levels, coastal storms, and other impacts from
climate change. This presentation will explore why protecting coastal ecosystems from nonclimate impacts can increase the resiliency of these systems to existing and projected climate
change impacts.

Johnson is a marine biologist with NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service in Gloucester. He
received a Masters of Science degree from the University of Central Florida in marine biology, and
has worked as a research biologist with the State of Florida in the Florida Keys and as a marine
habitat specialist for NOAA in Miami and Gloucester since 1999. Climate change has been an
interest and focus in his career for over a decade, and he is currently involved in climate change
initiatives at NOAA and in his own community in Ipswich. (Credit: www.Newbuyrportnews.com)

Recipe of the Month

Hearty Beef Stew
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large pot or dutch oven, cook
beef in oil over medium heat until
brown. Dissolve bouillon in water and
pour into pot. Stir in rosemary, parsley
and pepper. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour.

Stir potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Dissolve cornstarch in 2
teaspoons cold water and stir into stew. Cover and simmer 1 hour more.
INGREDIENTS

2 pounds cubed beef stew meat

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
4 cups water
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water

Brew of the Month!

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA
Our Sculpin IPA is a great example of what got us into brewing in the first
place. After years of experimenting, we knew hopping an ale at five separate
stages would produce something special. The result ended up being this
gold-medal winning IPA, whose inspired use of hops creates hints of apricot,
peach, mango and lemon flavors, but still packs a bit of a sting, just like a
Sculpin fish.
