  • Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha's Vineyard
    Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard Timothy M. Boland, Executive Director, The Polly Hill Arboretum, West Tisbury, MA 02575 USA Martha’s Vineyard is many things: a place of magical beauty, a historical landscape, an environmental habitat, a summer vacation spot, a year-round home. The island has witnessed wide-scale deforestation several times since its settlement by Europeans in 1602; yet, remarkably, existing habitats rich in biodiversity speak to the resiliency of nature. In fact, despite repeated disturbances, both anthropogenic and natural (hurricanes and fire), the island supports the rarest ecosystem (sand plain) found in Massachusetts (Barbour, H., Simmons, T, Swain, P, and Woolsey, H. 1998). In particular, the scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia Wangenh.) dominates frost bottoms and outwash plains sustaining globally rare lepidopteron species, and formerly supported the existence of an extinct ground-dwelling bird, a lesson for future generations on the importance of habitat preservation. European Settlement and Early Land Transformation In 1602 the British merchant sailor Bartholomew Gosnold arrived in North America having made the six-week boat journey from Falmouth, England. Landing on the nearby mainland the crew found abundant codfish and Gosnold named the land Cape Cod. Further exploration of the chain of nearby islands immediately southwest of Cape Cod included a brief stopover on Cuttyhunk Island, also named by Gosnold. The principle mission was to map and explore the region and it included a dedicated effort to procure the roots of sassafras (Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees) which were believed at the time to be medicinally valuable (Banks, 1917).

    Marine Geology, 49 (1982) 257-278 257 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company, Amsterdam- Printed in The Netherlands RAPID FORMATION AND DEGRADATION OF BARRIER SPITS IN AREAS WITH LOW RATES OF LITTORAL DRIFT* D.G. AUBREY and A.G. GAINES, Jr. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543 (U.S.A.) (Received February 8, 1982; revised and accepted April 6, 1982) ABSTRACT Aubrey, D.G. and Gaines Jr., A.G., 1982. Rapid formation and degradation of barrier spits in areas with low rates of littoral drift. Mar. Geol., 49: 257-278. A small barrier beach exposed to low-energy waves and a small tidal range (0.7 m) along Nantucket Sound, Mass., has experienced a remarkable growth phase followed by rapid attrition during the past century. In a region of low longshore-transport rates, the barrier spit elongated approximately 1.5 km from 1844 to 1954, developing beyond the baymouth, parallel to the adjacent Nantucket Sound coast. Degradation of the barrier spit was initiated by a succession of hurricanes in 1954 (Carol, Edna and Hazel). A breach opened and stabilized near the bay end of the one kilometer long inlet channel, providing direct access for exchange of baywater with Nantucket Sound, and separating the barrier beach into two nearly equal limbs. The disconnected northeast limb migrated shorewards, beginning near the 1954 inlet and progressing northeastward, filling the relict inlet channel behind it. At present, about ten percent of the northeast limb is subaerial: the rest of the limb has completely filled the former channel and disappeared. The southwest limb of the barrier beach has migrated shoreward, but otherwise has not changed significantly since the breach.

This paper investigates natural and anthropogenic causes for coastal erosion and their relationship with established social and economic systems. Sea level rise, climate change, and other anthropogenic changes increase the rate of coastal erosion.

    Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket A summer trip to Massachusetts could be well-spent on the beautiful coast! Start by taking advantage of the new Cape Flyer weekend rail service from Boston to Buzzards Bay or Hyannis – the site of the Kennedy family home. Trains will depart from Boston’s South Station every Friday, Saturday and Sunday May-October; return service the same days. capeflyer.com If you’re driving, take your time, stopping along the way to check out the many cranberry bogs throughout Plymouth County. Your first stop, however, should be in the town of Plymouth itself. As the landing location and subsequent settlement for the Mayflower's Pilgrims in 1620, Plymouth, just 40 minutes south of Boston, is home to one of the greatest dramas in the founding of America. And, it was here in 1621, where the Pilgrims celebrated what is now known as the first Thanksgiving with their Wampanoag neighbors. Situated about 40 miles south of Boston along Massachusetts' South Shore, Plymouth unfolds along a scenic harbor of blue waters and picturesque boats. In “America’s Hometown," you'll get a glimpse of Plymouth Rock — and the Pilgrim way of life – at Plimoth Plantation. This bi-cultural living history museum offers a re- created 17th century English Village that includes Colonial interpreters who bring the era to life, a Native Wampanoag Homesite, Crafts Center and numerous Museum Shops. The reproduction Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the Pilgrims’ original ship is located at State Pier just a stone’s throw from Plymouth Rock, that historic piece of granite thought to be the stepping stone for these courageous settlers into the New World.

Project Description As previously described in the Expanded Environmental Notification Form (EENF)/Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP), the CWMP describes the Town of Barnstable’s plan to address water quality management concerns resulting from population growth and increased development. The CWMP is a 30-year plan focused on traditional sewering solutions to replace the current dependence on septic systems; these solutions will be implemented in three 10-year phases. The plan has been designed to address multiple goals and needs of the community, specifically: nutrient removal, pond protection, drinking water protection, economic development and other related concerns regarding wastewater management.

Background This report presents the results generated from the implementation of the Massachusetts Estuaries Project’s Linked Watershed-Embayment Approach to the Popponesset Bay System a coastal embayment within the Towns of Mashpee and Barnstable, Massachusetts. Analyses of the Popponesset Bay System was performed to assist the Towns with up-coming nitrogen management decisions associated with the Towns’ current and future wastewater planning efforts, as well as wetland restoration, anadromous fish runs, shell fishery, open-space, and harbor maintenance programs. As part of the MEP approach, habitat assessment was conducted on the embayment based upon available water quality monitoring data, historical changes in eelgrass distribution, time-series water column oxygen measurements, and benthic community structure.
