From Bill Sargent:

“In 1978 I created the Coastlines Project at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. I focused on the coasts partly because I had grown up on Cape Cod and established a marine biology field station on Pleasant Bay.”

“But also because the coasts are where the most significant concentrations of humans are located and where the effects of climate change are the most apparent and damaging.”

“Since its inception, the Coastlines Project has helped produce three NOVA films, hundreds of articles, radio and television stories, and 27 award-winning books about science and the environment.”

“Becoming a subscriber allows others to read our daily blogs. You can also help significantly by recommending our daily blogs to others at William’s Substack.”

In addition, your generous contribution will help support our special projects, such as using Plum Island as a case study for sea level rise, investigating the progress and setbacks of offshore windfarms, and working with state, federal, and industry representatives to provide meaningful protection for horseshoe crabs, which are crucial for human health. You will also be eligible for discounts on our books and at our lectures and walks.

Many thanks to Plum Island Outdoors for making this offer possible and supporting our seasonal tours explaining the beach dynamics of Plum Island.

Happiest of Holidays,

Bill Sargent
