SUMMARY:Dr. David Reidmiller: “Climate Risks & Response Options in the Gulf of Maine”
DESCRIPTION:Through a range of physical\, chemical\, biological\, and socioeconomic impacts\, climate change poses an existential threat to Maine’s coastal communities as we know them. But it doesn’t have to. Dr. Dave Reidmiller\, Director of the Climate Center at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute will provide an overview of observed and projected climate impacts in this region and what the state\, municipalities\, blue economy businesses\, and coastal residents are doing to address climate-related risks—and capitalize upon emergent opportunities afforded by pro-actively responding to climate change. \nDr. Dave Reidmiller is the Director of the Climate Center at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI). In that role\, he leads a team of interdisciplinary experts developing and delivering climate services to coastal and marine stakeholders throughout the Gulf of Maine. Prior to joining GMRI\, Dave served in a number of senior climate science policy positions with the federal government. Among those roles was serving as the Chief Climate Scientist for the State Department where he led U.S. engagement in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and served as the lead U.S. science & technology negotiator for the Paris Agreement). As part of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy\, he led the development of the Fourth National Climate Assessment\, which serves as the nation’s most authoritative source on how climate change affects the livelihoods and well-beings of Americans in every corner of the country. Dr. Reidmiller holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Washington and a BA in chemistry from Colgate University. He grew up in Rochester\, NY and fulfilled a lifelong ambition of living in coastal Maine by moving to South Portland with his wife\, Katie\, and dog\, Atticus\, in 2020.

SUMMARY:Local Growers: “The Challenges & Rewards of Growing Kelp\, Vegetables\, Oysters\, Fruits\, Goats and . . More!”
DESCRIPTION:The Forum is particularly proud to present a panel representing many local Islesboro farming gardeners dedicated to keeping their eyes\, hands\, and hours active for the nurture of fruits\, flowers\, vegetables\, seeds and root-vegetable gluten-free products. Their long daylight work on the land produces verdant\ngrowth and\, often leads to the related production of syrups\, honey\, baked goods\, unexpected items processed from individual expertise. All growers participate with island markets\, some put out produce on an independent basis as well. When such busy lives can make time\, several enjoy sharing their natural wizardry with visitors: a few offer recipes and/or how-to for those of us who tend our own porch plantings. You’ll enjoy hearing how our happy island lives are improved and made tastier with the easily-acquired fresh and healthy produce just picked or prepared down the road. \nParticipants\, at this time\, include… \nSandy Oliver – Pretty Good Farm. Sandy\, a long-time-island resident who owns\, plants and manages Islesboro’s Pretty Good Farm\, has a deep interest in sustainable agriculture.  A New England food historian she has written books on Colonial\, Federal and current DownEast cooking.  She writes regular articles on kitchen and garden matters for several regional publications\, and speaks broadly on food and sustainability. \nPam Larson and Michael Hutcherson – Growing Things organic market garden. Growing healthy food for the island is central to our mission and we also strive to involve the community in our process. Our approach is informed by no-dig and regenerative practices\, and our priority is growing nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables. We do not use herbicides\, pesticides or man-made chemical fertilizers. This is our fourth year of growing a diverse mix of vegetables\, flowers and seedlings for the Islesboro community.  \nKim Grindle – Islesboro Oyster Company. Long time Islesboro resident Kim\, with the help of and a little shove from her kids\, has established a thriving oyster farm in Gilkey Harbor.\nAnna Zlotkowski – Anna is a rising Senior at ICS with an interest in agriculture and vet studies and is an avid animal lover. She rents out her small herd of goats on Islesboro\, and the\nsurrounding islands\, for land clearing.\nGaby Zlotkowski – on the growing business of kelp farming. Gaby was recently interviewed and featured in a Civil Eats article called\, “A Young Oyster Farmer Carrying on the Family Business\,” she talks about her kelp farming\, how she was one of the forces in the development of an oyster farm\, and how\nbeing part of the working waterfront is continuing a family tradition. \nPanel will be moderated by island resident John Rex-Waller.
