Climate crisis is the central challenge for oceans and ourselves.

For some time now and for the foreseeable future, all research, education and policy activities here at the Center for Coastal Studies will examine the cross-cutting impacts of rapid warming on our planet. This is our number one concern regarding the future of our ocean, and you will see aspects of our focus on climate change in virtually every program described in this Coastwatch. We are inextricably linked to the ocean, depending upon it to produce 50% of the oxygen we breath, to moderate our weather, to absorb our excess production of greenhouse gases, to feed billions, to sustain a growing Blue Economy and much more. Your generous support will enable us to contribute to a much better understanding of these impacts and will help generate solutions and actions needed to mitigate changes and adapt to a new world that is rapidly changing. Time is of the essence and the challenges are daunting, Waves crashed against houses along Town Neck Beach in Sandwich during the nor’easter of January 2018. but together we can and will make a difference.

GROUND-TRUTHING STORM TIDE PATHWAYS

i Since March 2019, the Marine Geology Department has identified, mapped and verified over 1000 storm tide pathways (routes to low-lying coastal areas most likely to flood during storm-related high tides) along the Cape Cod Bay shoreline stretching from Sandwich to Provincetown. These maps are essen- tial to town and county preparedness and planning including emergency re- sponse and evacuation zones, future infrastructure investments, and coastal flood resilience. The National eatherW Service now includes STP data provid- ed by CCS in their online real-time tide and storm surge forecasts, published at www.weather.gov/box/coastal.

One of the Center’s newest projects is a collaboration between the CCS Geology Department and Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) biologist, Dr. Greg Skomal, to study the effects of seafloor topography, tides, currents, waves and weather on the presence and behavior of great white sharks off the Outer Beach in North Truro.

This summer CCS used high resolution side scan sonar to create a detailed map of the nearshore sandbars and Black Mayonnaise is not a culinary experiment; it’s the name troughs, then deployed a dense array of acoustic receivers locals have given to the dense black mud that has cloaked to track the position of previously-tagged sharks as they parts of the seafloor in Wellfleet Harbor since the 1980s.

RIGHT WHALES – By The Numbers This information is excerpted from the 2018-2019 Final Report for Right Whale Surveillance and Habitat Monitoring in Cape Cod Bay and Adjacent Waters, which was prepared for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). During the 2018-2019 expanded right whale winter/spring season the CCS aerial survey team conducted 38 surveys from 12 November 2018 through 16 May 2019. Efforts were concentrated on Cape Cod Bay and the area east of Cape Cod, with additional exploratory surveys of Massachusetts Bay and Jeffreys Ledge. A total of 194.6 hours were flown and right whales were seen on all but five of the surveys. Right whale #3317 and her calf in The first right whales sighted by CCS in Cape Cod Bay during the season were documented Cape Cod Bay on 4/11/19 on 11 December 2018 and last seen by CCS in Cape Cod Bay on 11 May 2019. (CCS, NOAA permit #19315-01) Two hundred and sixty nine individual whales were documented, the second highest percentage of the population (about 66 %) in the history of the CCS study and the greatest percentage of the population recorded in the North Atlantic in the last century. Of the whales documented during the study 151 were male, 91 were female, and 27 were of unknown sex; 220 were adults, 34 were juveniles, 12 were of unknown ages, and four were calves. The first cow-calf pair (one of the seven documented off the birthing grounds of the southeastern US coast) was observed in Cape Cod Bay on 07 April 2019. One actively entangled right whale was documented and reported by the CCS aerial team in 2019, and subsequently partially disentangled by the CCS Marine Animal Entanglement Response team. Two right whales known to be recently entangled were also documented and confirmed to be gear free. The CCS right whale habitat research crew conducted 28 research cruises totaling approximately 178 hours at sea before and during the 2019 right whale winter/spring season during which 614 zooplankton samples were collected, counted, and analyzed to map the food resources that control the distribution of right whales in Cape Cod Bay. Based on the survey data provided by CCS, in early March DMF announced a seasonal small vessel (less than 65 ft) speed limit of 10 knots to protect the large number of right whales in Cape Cod Bay. Then on May 9, CCS surveillance data indicated that the aggregation of right whales had departed from the Bay, and a sharp decline in the zooplankton food resource suggested that they were unlikely to return in 2019. Consequently, DMF lifted the seasonal speed limit and opened the Bay to trap gear fishing. Thanks in part to the work of CCS in the air, on the water and in the lab, there were no reported vessel strikes or new entanglements of right whales in Cape Cod Bay during the 2019 right whale season.

Right whales #3680 and Sea Dragon engaged in a Surface Active Group, a social behavior that may be related to mating, play or social bonding (CCS, Right whale ecologist Christy Hudak and intern Keith Hankowsky NOAA permit #19315-01) collect zooplankton samples aboard the R/V Shearwater. 6 Water Quality Monitoring

CCS MAER team aboard the R/V Ibis successfully disentangled the 2015 calf of humpback whale Jabiru off Chatham in August 2019 (CCS, NOAA permit #18786- 03)

The southern Gulf of Maine, including the waters offshore of Massachusetts, has the highest number and diversity of entanglement sightings, with confirmed reports in all months of the year as species filter into and through the area during annual migrations. The MAER program provides year round on-call entanglement response for protected marine species (live and dead whales and sea turtles) within roughly 100 miles of Provincetown and offshore of Rhode Island and New Hampshire. So far in 2019, the CCS MAER team has mounted over 35 responses and disentangled, or partially disentangled, one right whale, four humpback whales, one minke whale and 10 leatherback sea turtles. Outside of this response area and within the Atlantic Large Whale Disentanglement Network (ALWDN), CCS staff advise network members, aid telemetry tracking of entangled whales, give input for action plans and assessments, evaluate advancement of higher-level entanglement responders and respond directly to entangled whales outside of the immediate response area as needed.

GLOBAL WHALE ENTANGLEMENT RESPONSE NETWORK (GWERN) Headquartered at CCS, the goal of this joint initiative between CCS and the International Whaling Commission (IWC) is to build a worldwide network of professionally trained and equipped entanglement responders using rescue techniques developed by CCS. This year CCS hosted entanglement response apprentices from Peru and Norway, as well as California, Oregon and Washington. GWERN coordinator David Mattila led training sessions in the small coastal town of Ullapool, Scotland; Watatmu, Kenya (the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa); and on the coast of northern Patagonia in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. The Puerto Madryn workshop brought together 50 trainees from other parts of Argentina and Uruguay; the Brazilian co-trainer, Leandro Cortese Aranha, was an apprentice here at CCS and attended the entanglement workshop hosted by CCS in 2018. Since its inception in 2011 the GWERN program has trained 1200 people from 34 countries.

12 A whole new audience for Spinnaker

Spinnaker, an 11 year-old humpback whale, was well known at CCS. Her life history, and that of her mother (Palette) and grandmother (Compass), was documented in great detail by CCS scientists as part of our Gulf of Maine humpback whale population research. During her short life Spinnaker was entangled in fishing gear at least four times; on three of those occasions she was freed by the CCS Marine Animal Entanglement Response team and colleagues from Campobello Whale Rescue This summer a short film produced by Red Thread and Maine Marine Patrol. In June 2015 Spinnaker died Productions about the painful life and death of the humpback and her body washed ashore in Acadia National Park in whale Spinnaker premiered in Provincetown to tremendous Maine.
