WWWhat's Trending: Currents, NYSG’s E-Newsletter, Spotlights Summer
New York Coastlines, Summer 2013


Currents
, NYSG’s e-newsletter supplement to NY Coastlines, will close out the summer with our late-Fall issue, featuring stories on safe boating, aquatic invasive species, mapping coastal change and teacher trainings.

Both NY Coastlines, our flagship coastal science newsletter, and Currents are each e-distributed several times a year.

Sign up for both at either www.nyseagrant.org/coastlines or www.nyseagrant.org/ecurrents. Both of these sections of New York Sea Grant's "Publications" Web site section also feature archives of these respective publications.

Web Extras: Postcards

New York Sea Grant distributed a series of themed postcards starting in Summer 2012 in an effort to encourage its users to connect in via the program's Constant Contact E-list, from which New York Coastlines and Currents are sent.



The summer postcard features a beach scene, which includes a rip currents education sign. Rip currents are narrow channels of fast-moving water that pull swimmers away from the shore. They can occur at any of New York’s many beaches with breaking waves—from the ocean beaches of Coney Island or Jones Beach to the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Keep tabs on this National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Sea Grant initiative via New York Sea Grant's related Rip Currents Education Resource site, www.nyseagrant.org/ripcurrents, which includes new content each summer season.



In the Fall 2012, New York Sea Grant rolled out another postcard, this one distributed by Great Lakes staff as well as by Web Content Manager Paul C. Focazio at several New York City festivals.
