David Sibley Returns to Manomet
Every corner of Manomet holds a piece of history, and no one tells those stories better than the people who lived through them. In October 2025, during Manomet’s Alumni Reunion, the campus came alive with stories, memorabilia, and the return of familiar faces.

Building a Green Coast Conservation Plan
The coasts of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are among the most important areas for migratory shorebirds in the Americas. Year after year, millions of these long-distance travelers rely on the region’s 1100 kilometers of mudflats and mangrove forests to rest and refuel.

FLYWAYS
Manomet is best known for its work on avian species and is a global leader in shorebird conservation. We will grow the impact of this work through enhanced site conservation, expanded monitoring, and increased emphasis on working lands and seas. [Photo: Hudsonian Godwits take flight.

RESILIENT HABITATS
Our greatest conservation accomplishments involve our ability to work with others, integrating cutting-edge science, targeted management actions, and long-term monitoring to improve habitat. We identify threats to nature and develop measures to alleviate pressure on the most valuable and sensitive ecosystems. Healthy ecosystems and vibrant wildlife populations are critical to ensuring that human communities thrive. [Photo: White-rumped Sandpiper in breeding plumage. Credit: Shiloh Schulte.]
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
We believe that education is one of the best tools to create long-term change. We see the opportunity to influence a broad array of individuals on the value of the natural world through outreach in Southeast Massachusetts, extending nationally and internationally through virtual programming and on-the-ground education.
Working Lands and Seas
High-quality habitat conditions for wildlife can exist alongside resource-based industries such as agriculture, fisheries, and salt production. Using our experience developed over several decades, we are expanding our efforts to secure greater conservation impacts. [Photo: Dunlin flying over rice fields. Credit: Monica Iglecia.]
