Dear Friends:

Fiscal Year 2010 was a banner year for Wellfleet Bay—no matter what challenges arose, we met them head on and succeeded.

Our great staff and incredible volunteers worked together to rescue cold-stunned sea turtles (our second busiest season ever); censused thousands of hawks; expanded horseshoe crab research; protected Piping Plovers and enjoyed a record year for Least Terns and American Oystercatchers; counted, measured, and disease tested our oyster reef oysters; and protected dozens of terrapin nests, releasing nearly 400 diamondback hatchlings.

The vitality, creativity, and enthusiasm brought to each project led to our success. Whether it’s getting up at 1am to do a horseshoe crab census or checking for terrapin hatchling emergence in the pouring rain, our dedicated volunteers are always there.

Our education department, led by equally committed staff, has been exceeding expectations all year. A record number of children attended Wellfleet Bay’s nature camp this summer, our in-school environmental education programs are thriving, and we continue to offer exciting opportunities for adults to learn about and experience nature through our summer field schools, lectures, workshops, walks, cruises, and tours.

Another member of the team who fills a role that’s just as important as our naturalists, teachers, citizen scientists and volunteers is YOU! Wellfleet Bay is able to thrive and innovate because of strong philanthropic support from our loyal friends. Thank you for helping to make it all possible!

What do we do for an encore? In the near-term, we would like to obtain permanent funding for our Harwich elementary school program and our in-school coastal waterbird program. Through the winter, we would like to continue to reach out to our community by offering more low-cost or free programs to local residents.

Who knows what other unknown question will need an answer or which issue will need an advocate?

Whatever the need, I have no doubt our staff, volunteers, members, and supporters will step up to the plate. Together with you, this sanctuary can continue to do amazing things!

Sincerely,

Bob PrescottSanctuary Director

LOOKING AHEAD! Thanks to those who generously supported “Bids for Kids” at this summer’s Wild, Wild Wellfleet auction, the sanctuary has additional resources to expand camp scholarships, provide more environmental education in the schools, and offer low-cost or free nature programs to local children and their families on a year-round basis.

EDUCATION

SALT MARSH EXPLORATION

STORY HOUR AT WELLFLEET BAY

YOUNG SCIENTISTS AT WORK

SCHOOL PROGRAMSCentral to the sanctuary’s mission is to ensure that the Cape’s students learn about and explore the natural world. This year, our school programs reached 9,850 students in fifteen schools, from pre-school to high school, from Harwich to Truro.As an example, this was the first year of a grant-funded program that allowed more than 110 Harwich 5th graders to participate in our Marine Life of Cape Cod program. We kicked off the school year with a Cape Cod Bay Marine Life Cruise, followed by hands-on classroom learning and a spring field trip to a bayside beach to explore the tidal flats.As most schools cannot afford to pay the actual per hour cost, many programs must be heavily subsidized by grants and gifts, or through endowment funds that have been set up for this purpose by generous members. Such support has made it possible for Wellfleet Bay to bring natural history education to the children of Cape Cod.

PUBLIC PROGRAMSThis summer season, the Nature Center welcomed 27,290 visitors from around the world, with more than 2,250 participating in 150 programs. By far the most popular program this summer was the Seashore Ramble, where families explored the tidal flats and salt marsh to learn about animal and plant life. We had 903 people attend this program, a record number.As a Platinum LEED-certified building, the Nature Center and its Green Building Trail continue to be wonderful teaching tools for visitors to learn about green design and sustainable practices. In addition, tours were conducted for architects, college and high school students, and the public.Thanks to grants from the Wellfleet and Eastham Cultural Councils we offered eight free and highly popular “Nature Tales” story hours for pre-school children over the long winter months of January and February.

SUMMER DAY CAMP AND HIGH SCHOOL FIELD PROGRAMWellfleet Bay’s Day Camp welcomed more than 800 campers this summer, greatly surpassing numbers from previous years. Approximately 75% of campers return each year.Our newest endeavor, the High School Field Program, offered three weeks of programming, with our most popular week being Extreme Outdoors: biking, kayaking, and snorkeling. Marine Life 911 week included a sea turtle necropsy, a mock dolphin rescue, and whale watching. The final Cape by Kayak week offered a paddling adventure on the Outer Cape.

LOOKING AHEAD! Save the date for the 2011 Natural History Conference on March 12.

EDUCATION

COLLEGE GROUP JOINS DENNIS ON THE TRAILSDIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS CAPE COD NATURAL HISTORY CONFERENCE

CAPE COD FIELD SCHOOLIn the summer of 1986, Wellfleet Bay tried something new—offering adults extended courses in ornithology, archaeology, and photography. They were wildly popular and Cape Cod Field Schools were born. Twenty-four years later, Wellfleet Bay still offers innovative and exciting field courses for adults during the summer. From exploring the Outer Cape’s most scenic waterways in “Coastal Ecology by Kayak,” catching and tagging turtles for research in “Turtles of the Outer Cape,” or capturing beautiful images through “Introduction to Digital Photography,” participants are rewarded with unique experiences, new knowledge, and a stronger appreciation for the natural world in which we live. In the summer of 2010, twelve multi-day courses were offered and a total of 132 people attended—the 5th highest registration in its 25 year history!

COLLEGE GROUP INITIATIVEIn September 2008, Wellfleet Bay was awarded financial support from Mass Audubon’s Program Innovations Fund to develop College Group Programs at Wellfleet Bay that engages students in a variety of educational programs, research, and monitoring projects that complement their course of study. While the target audience has generally been biological and environmental departments in northeast universities and colleges, one of our most exciting relationships that developed in FY10 is with the American Literature department at Penn State through Dr. Robert Burkholder’s Adventure Literature Program. In November 2009, Dr. Burkholder and 18 students spent a week in our dormitory and participated in naturalist-guided field trips exploring the nature of Cape Cod as it related to Thoreau, Beston, Hay, Oliver, and a variety of other authors and poets who wrote about the region. We look forward to working with these students again this fall.

CAPE COD NATURAL HISTORY CONFERENCEIn March 2010 we hosted our 15th annual Cape Cod Natural History Conference at the Cape Cod Community College in Barnstable. Each year the conference highlights exciting studies and projects related to the nature of Cape Cod and this past year’s conference was no exception. Fifteen speakers and fifteen poster presenters, representing a variety of institutions including Mass. Division of Marine Fisheries, The Nature Conservancy, UMASS, Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Bridgewater State College, and Mass Audubon, shared their research and studies with more than 165 attendees. Wildlife studies and monitoring projects, as well as habitat restoration projects to benefit wildlife, made up the bulk of the presentations. The conference is a wonderful showcase of the incredible talent, energy, knowledge, and passion that exists on Cape Cod.

2010: THE YEAR OF THE VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Dedicated volunteers help maintain the trails and gardens, assist with special events, and welcome visitors. They serve as volunteer naturalists and support countless conservation initiatives including sea turtle rescue, habitat restoration, coastal waterbird and diamondback terrapin protection, and horseshoe crab research.

Wellfleet Bay’s Advisory Council provided guidance and support on key issues facing the sanctuary. It helped to identify annual goals and acted as a sounding board for the sanctuary director on issues ranging from the ongoing “greening” of the sanctuary to weighing the impact of the sanctuary’s coastal bird education outreach.

Wellfleet Bay is very grateful to the individuals and groups that contribute in so many ways to our conservation community.

THANK YOU!

SPECIAL EVENTSWellfleet Bay’s year-long 50th anniversary celebration was capped off by a lecture by Dr. Eric S. Chivian, founder of the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Chivian is a leading proponent of efforts to create a greater awareness of the importance of biodiversity to human health. More than 100 members attended the lecture and luncheon that culminated in the cutting of the 50th anniversary cake.Wellfeet Bay’s Bird-a-thon team included 50 birders who identified 219 bird species on the Cape and across the state during this annual 24-hour fundraising event. The team raised close to $8,000 to support the sanctuary’s conservation programs, a 100% increase over last year. This impressive jump earned Wellfleet Bay a Regional Migration Award for Mass Audubon sanctuaries showing the greatest percentage increase in fundraising dollars from the previous year.Fiscal Year 2011 started off with a bang! Wellfleet Bay held its first-ever fundraising event Wild, Wild Wellfleet! on July 29, 2010. On this gorgeous summer evening, a sold-out crowd participated in a Chefs Tasting where local chefs and beer and wine merchants wove sustainability into their delicious creations. We then moved on to the live auction full of energy, laughter, and excitement. The entire evening raised more than $50,000 for the sanctuary’s important conservation and education programs.

ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH

LOOKING AHEAD! Look for us at Corn Hill Beach in Truro next summer where we have monitored plovers and terns for several years. We know from our work with Truro elementary school children that the proximity of so many successfully nesting plovers and terns to a lot of beachgoers creates a perfect opportunity for public education.

BUILDING A PIPING PLOVER EXCLOSURE

COASTAL WATERBIRD PROGRAMUnder the watchful eye of field supervisor Michelle Stantial, our Wellfleet Coastal Waterbird staff monitored and protected 21 pairs of Piping Plovers, two Least Tern colonies totaling roughly 130 pairs, and two pairs of American Oystercatchers. The highlights from this year included a ten-fold increase in nesting Least Terns at Tern Island in Chatham, due in large part to our habitat management efforts, plus two oystercatcher chicks fledged from Tern Island. Though heavy crow and red fox predation took their toll on plover and tern eggs and chicks, we still had productivity of 1.38 chicks fledged/pair, which is enough for positive population growth.

This year we added two staff members to conduct educational programs about coastal waterbirds on North Beach Island, Ridgevale Beach, and Lighthouse Beach in Chatham. With scopes and education materials in tow, our staff provided many “wow” moments for beachgoers. Please visit the website and blog that was created to extend the educational opportunities beyond the beach: http://chathambirds.org

HORSESHOE CRAB RESEARCH AND CONFERENCEOur horseshoe crab project managers Sarah Martinez and KatherineTerkanian are now master’s candidates at UMass Amherst. Katherine is looking at population genetics around the state and learning how distinct the sub-populations of horseshoe crabs are around the Cape. Using sonic tags and listening buoys, Sarah is tracking crab movements in and between embayments around Chatham and Nantucket Sound in order to determine if crabs are moving from protected areas around Monomoy to other areas where they are vulnerable to harvest. Results will be reported to the State Division of Marine Fisheries for future management of this species.

Over 100 interested citizens, researchers, and harvesters attended the Horseshoe Crab Conference in April. We recruited many new volunteers for our spawning beach surveys, and new research was presented showing that the mortality of crabs bled for the biomedical harvest was higher than previously thought and that crabs in Pleasant Bay stay in the bay year round and have a troublingly skewed sex-ratio compared to other populations. The new harvest regulations Mass Audubon had lobbied for were unveiled and explained by Vin Malkoski from the State Division of Marine Fisheries. These regulations should protect more spawning females by prohibiting harvest around the new and full moons of May and June.

TOURING THE OYSTER REEF

ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH

LOOKING AHEAD! This spring, staff, interns, and volunteers will conduct a harbor-wide study of terrapin nesting sites in Wellfleet to determine the current status of their populations. By comparing the data with earlier studies, we should also be able to see how their status has changed over the past three decades. It should also help us better understand how to protect this state-listed threatened species.

OYSTER REEF RESTORATION PROJECTWe continue to learn about the best way to restore natural oyster reefs in Wellfleet through three testing treatments: concrete reef balls, concrete oyster castles, and surf clam/oyster shell known as “culch.” The project staff and volunteers are determining which method is best at catching a set of wild oysters, surviving the winters here, and ultimately supporting a self-sustaining wild reef. This spring we learned that many of our reef balls had disintegrated over the winter, and the oysters growing on them disappeared. The culch treatments were susceptible to being buried by sand, and suffered relatively high mortality of the young oysters in early spring as a result, but the oyster castles are doing well and are growing many oysters.

Biodiversity, one of our most important measures of success for the project, has demonstrably increased at the restoration site. Marine worms, crabs, snails, algae, and other creatures have increased markedly since the restoration began last year, and a pair of American Oystercatchers even spent the summer feeding on the blue mussels now growing on culch bags at the site.

MEASURING TERRAPINS DURING TURTLE FIELD SCHOOL

DIAMONDBACK TERRAPINSStaff and a serious corps of volunteers protected 45 nests on the sanctuary this summer, up from 31 last year and more than twice as many as three years ago. These nests have produced over 360 hatchlings despite a very dry summer. We also recorded our first terrapin nest at a habitat restoration site in Orleans, and we expect more in the future as the turtles discover the site.

Matt Bolus, a master’s student from UMass Amherst, is answering the question of where terrapins brumate (go dormant for the winter) in Wellfleet Harbor, with implications for future dredging projects. The information gathered will be of use to not only us, but the state’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, fishermen, and the state and federal dredge programs.
