SEEDING A WILD OYSTER FUTURE

On a recent cool, gray morning on Cape Cod, the work of rebuilding an ecosystem to support wild oysters — considered "functionally extinct" in Massachusetts, began with the briny odor of old surf clam shells loaded onto a barge.

ANDREW WYETH

"With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane."

The lonely autumn atmosphere is certainly captured!

NOW NARWHALES HAVE GONE SILENT

Narwhales rely on sound, particularly rapid clicks, to navigate and find food. The loud noise from ships and possibly wind turbine cause stress and alter their behavior.
