| Ships to save the Waters Conference started today. Schooner Ernestina lays
at dockside thanks to the generosity of Liberty
Landing Marina and sponsorship of the Liberty
State Park Development Corporation. The New Bedford students are a great
help setting up for the conference and giving
tours of the ship. They met Pete Seeger today and
learned about some of the organizations teaching
about watersheds and estuaries.
The Park offers an incredible
view of Manhattan just across the Hudson River.
Madame Francine Cousteau's
keynote address was very inspiring this evening.
The photo on the left is of Pete with Francine
after her address. We will post the text of her
speech on the StStW page soon.
