3. Our Strategy
Reached out to Brian Carey, the Fairfield Conservation Director
Met with the Fairfield Shellfish Commission
Generate support for shellfish conservation and preservation of the marine
ecosystem
Use Wordpress website and several social media sites to spread the message
Promote upcoming events
Keep constant contact with organization for guidance

4. Wordpress:
On our Wordpress website we included information about what the Shellfish Commission is, and what
they are looking to accomplish by listing their goals and duties as a commission.
We used this social media site to help spread the messages of the Fairfield Shellfish Commission and the
preservation of the marine ecosystem along with promoting upcoming events to the public.
One of the events promoted was the town of Fairfield’s Earth Day Celebration taking place Saturday, April
30th.
