NY Sea Grant | NYSG's Social Media Review: January

If you're a subscriber to our e-list, www.nyseagrant.org/nycoastlines, then you likely received the Summer 2016 issue of our flagship publication, NY Coastlines / Currents (Table of Contents | Constant Contact Version). Our next issue is slated for release by late Winter 2017.

As we publish our e-newsletter 1-2 times a year, we supplement it with a monthly "Social Media Review" blog (at www.nyseagrant.org/blog), which serves as an e-digest of top stories trending at New York Sea Grant (NYSG) as well as our program's federal parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as well as its various line offices and partner organizations.

Below you will find links to the issues of that e-digest in this, our "Social Media Year in Review" for 2016.
