University of Massachusetts Boston M.S., University of Massachusetts Boston Directed by Assistant Professor Allen M. Gontz RISES conducted a shoreline change study in order to accurately map, quantify, and predict trends in shoreline evolution on Rainsford Island occurring from 1890-2008. It employed geographic information systems (GIS) and analytical statistical techniques to identify coastal hazard zones vulnerable to coastal erosion, rising sea-levels, and storm surges. The 11-acre Rainsford Island, located in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, consists of two eroded drumlins connected by a low-lying spit.

  • Terns Nesting in Boston Harbor: the Importance of Artificial Sites
    Terns Nesting in Boston Harbor: The Importance of Artificial Sites Jeremy J. Hatch Terns are familiar coastal birds in Massachusetts, nesting widely, but they are most numerous from Plymouth southwards. Their numbers have fluctuated over the years, and the history of the four principal species was compiled by Nisbet (1973 and in press). Two of these have nested in Boston Harbor: the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) and the Least Tern (S. albifrons). In the late nineteenth century, the numbers of all terns declined profoundly throughout the Northeast because of intensive shooting of adults for the millinery trade (Doughty 1975), reaching their nadir in the 1890s (Nisbet 1973). Subsequently, numbers rebounded and reached a peak in the 1930s, declined again to the mid-1970s, then increased into the 1990s under vigilant protection (Blodget and Livingston 1996). In contrast, the first terns to nest in Boston Harbor in the twentieth century were not reported until 1968, and there are no records from the 1930s, when the numbers peaked statewide. For much of their subsequent existence the Common Terns have depended upon a sequence of artificial sites. This unusual history is the subject of this article. For successful breeding, terns require both an abimdant food supply and nesting sites safe from predators. Islands in estuaries can be ideal in both respects, and it is likely that terns were numerous in Boston Harbor in early times. There is no direct evidence for — or against — this surmise, but one of the former islands now lying beneath Logan Airport was called Bird Island (Fig. 1) and, like others similarly named, may well have been the site of a tern colony in colonial times.

This work is proposed within Boston Harbor adjacent to Spectacle Island, Peddocks Island, Georges Island and Gallops Island in Boston and Hull, Massachusetts. Massachusetts DCR proposes to install and to maintain a total of 161 commercial moorings around a number of the Boston Harbor islands in Boston and Hull, Massachusetts. The purpose for this project is to provide transient/ short-term mooring space and improved navigable access for boaters visiting the Boston Harbor Islands National Park. Massachusetts DCR, after coordination with the Island Alliance,.has taken responsibility for managing the 50 rental mooring previously authorized under Corps permit #200001090. Massachusetts DCR plans to relocate these moorings as described below. · In addition, they plan to install up to 111 additional commercial moorings as follows: Gallops Island - up to 11 moorings on the southeastern side of the island; Georges Island - up to 25 moorings on the northwestern side of the island; Peddocks Island- up to 75 moorings on the northwestern side of the island; and Spectacle Island - up to 50 moorings on the western side of the island.

  • Cape Cod Lighthouses TCCI
    Cape Cod Lighthouses Locations Click on a lighthouse on the map for more information The climb up circular stairs to the top of a lighthouse tower is not for the squeamish or for those afraid of heights. Most lighthouses have interesting stories related to their history. Some are open to the public and have “visiting hours.” Others are open only on special occasions. Usually a tour guide will take you through the building and offer you tales of lighthouse living. The winding staircases, the distant echo of your footsteps, waves hitting against the rock, distant ship hooting…that’s the dejavu you get when you visit the Cape Cod Lighthouses. It is as if you are part of the whole system that emits navigational lights to guide hundreds of ships to dock safely. Lighthouses are navigational aids that mark the perilous reeds, hazardous shoals and poorly charted coastlines for safe harbor entry. Once upon a time, the lighthouses were the marine pilot’s most important aids but the advent of electronic navigation has led to their decline. The system of lights and lamps on the lighthouses are also expensive to maintain. The vantage points occupied by the lighthouses make them a tourists’ attraction. You’ll go up the winding staircase with your pair of binoculars and voila! The beautiful Cape Cod Coastline spreads right before your eyes. Race Point Light Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Race Point Lighthouse is one of the historical building in the National Register of Historic Places. It was first built in 1816, but the current 45-foot tall tower was built in 1876.

XXXCPTUPOTDVMQUPSTDPNtCPTUPOTDVMQUPST!ZBIPPDPN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 7, 2015 Exhibition Title: 34 Exhibition Dates: July 22 – August 16, 2015 Artists’ Reception: July 26 from 3 – 5 pm SOWA First Friday Reception: August 7 from 5 – 8 pm Gallery Hours: Wed. – Sun. from 12 – 6 pm (Boston, MA): As a part of the Isles Arts Initiative, a summer long public art series on the Boston Harbor Islands and in venues across Boston, the Boston Sculptors Gallery proudly hosts “34,” a group exhibition curated by Liz Devlin of FLUX. Boston Sculptors Gallery will showcase work inspired by the intrinsic beauty and divergent tales of the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. “34” is a group exhibition that includes 34 regional artists each responding to one of the 34 Boston Harbor Islands. Each imaginative work will be accompanied by a placard, featuring text from Chris Klein’s Discovering the Boston Harbor Islands, which outlines a brief history of the particular island and will provide additional context for the work itself. The exhibition serves as a physical beacon on land that will be in conversation with the artwork on the harbor. Artists’ work will educate and inspire visitors, sharing unique perspectives and visionary iconography that will demonstrate why the islands’ history is among the most fascinating in our region. About Boston Sculptors: Founded in 1992, Boston Sculptors Gallery is an artist-run organization that presents and promotes innovative, challenging sculpture and installations. It is the only sculptors organization in the United States that maintains its own exhibition space. The organization has presented exhibitions of its sculptors in other venues and countries and occasionally invites Curators to present exhibitions in its gallery in Boston’s South End.
