Lloyd Center to hold clambake, silent auction in July - Dartmouth Week

Tickets are on sale now for the Lloyd Center for the Environment's 37th-annual Clambake on Friday, July 8.

The fundraiser will include a choice of meals from three different caterers: McGrath Clambakes & Catering — the Lloyd Center's usual clambake caterer — Cask and Pig Kitchen and Ale House, and The Oxcart.

Meals must be purchased by July 1 by calling 508-990-0505 x10, or online by clicking here.

The McGrath Clambake dinner option includes Spinney Creek Maine soft shelled steamed clams, Prince Edward Island mussels, drawn butter and broth, local sweet corn on the cob, red bliss potato, and chourico. The price is $60 per meal and can be picked up at the Lloyd Center from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on July 8.

The Cask and Pig option is a family dinner intended to serve up to four people. It includes ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, corn bread, and two sides (chef's choice). The price is $190 per meal and can be picked up at Cask and Pig from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on July 8.

The Oxcart offering is intended as a lunch option and will include a fresh lobster roll, chips, and a cookie. The price is $60 and can be picked up at the Lloyd Center between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on July 8.

Each meal ticket includes a generous donation to support Lloyd Center education programs.

A tradition upon which so much depends, the Clambake helps to underwrite the costs of the Lloyd Center's environmental education, research, and outreach programs. Today, the Lloyd Center is working to bring first-rate environmental science classes to thousands of children in area public schools.

The Lloyd Center will also launch its annual silent auction fundraiser on July 1 with bidding closing one week later at 9 p.m. on July 8.

Each winning bid helps provide hands-on science programming to thousands of students across the state and beyond.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
