Minquansis Sapiel will be speaking about the Wabanaki WaterWays and their history of wayfinding, guiding and whale hunting. She will discuss how slowly the Wabanaki people were stripped away of their rights and connection to most of their traditional routes due to Dams, regulation and laws imposed on them throughout history.

Learn how the State of Maine laws and regulations continue to impose on Wabanaki Sovereignty in present time. The Wabanaki people want To fish and hunt and travel like they have always done for thousands of years before colonialism. They want to reclaim our connection to the Waterways of what is now called Maine.

Webinar: Harnessing the Power of Waves to Reverse Coastal Erosion

Tuesday, February 4, 2025, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Peter M. Hanrahan, CPESC, will present a two-hour webinar in partnership with Half Moon Education.

The topic will be Wave Attenuation, one of the few coastal protection methods that actually goes on offense battling coastal erosion and sand loss.

Wave attentuation harnesses the power of waves to (1) replenish sand and build up beaches, (2) create artificial reefs and enhance habitat, (3) protect vulnerable coastal property and infrastructure.

This offers a viable alternative to traditional hard armoring techniques, which negatively impact habitat and also deflect damaging wave energy to adjacent coastal properties.
