Our StrategyReached 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

Keywords and tags on media to generate better SEO

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.
