E. Boston resilience effort puts shoreline future in the hands of local youth [A] former site of a shipbuilding yard now is the home of curving, swirling bundles of cut reeds, each structure planted with grasses local to New England salt marshes and anchored along the beach to create a barrier against increased waves from storms. The work is part of Eastie Farm’s Climate Corps program, a paid fellowship program for local youth. https://baystatebanner.com/2024/09/11/e-boston-resilience-effort-puts-shoreline-future-in-the-hands-of-local-youth/ #Boston #harbor #ecosystem @npub1zgtw...c69a

Any big harbor has a few derelict vessels tucked away. Here are the old tugs "Heidi", near the Alford Street Bridge over the Mystic River, and "Success", at the mouth of Chelsea Creek. Heidi hangs out with a barge for Anthony's Pier 4 restaurant in South Boston, which closed in 2013. Success ties up to the "JW Powell", best known for being captured by a burst of Coast Guard machine gun fire while running drugs, and for starring in the James Bond film Licence to Kill. #Boston #harbor #tug

Beetles reunion: Some of the dozen Beetle Cats seen this morning on the Bass River in Dennis. These 12-foot gaff cats float a little down by the bow until their crew gets on board. #sailing #kayaking #CapeCod

Surprise on the Bass River in Dennis this morning. An osprey was perched on the mast until two seconds before I took my first shot. They are, thankfully, no longer almost extinct along this coast. #kayaking #sailing #CapeCod
