Chemical dumping for climate
A novel experiment to study ways to mitigate climate change is proposed to take place in the waters south of Nomans Land in the late summer, but the project has raised concerns among some regional environmental entities and local fishery groups. Though tentatively supported by the Environmental Protection Agency, researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution await final determination pending an analysis of public comments and reviews from other agencies.

Turbine blade detaches
In the latest update from Vineyard Wind, a significant piece of the turbine blade has detached and the offshore wind company is working to contain even more debris. We also bring news from a tense Nantucket select board meeting where irate residents grilled Vineyard Wind executives about what went wrong. It is still unclear how the turbine was damaged.

Quote of the Day

—Peter Raymond, Yale School of Environment professor and senior associate dean, on Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s proposed climate change mitigation experimentHot Topic Comment"We should commit to do what is best for our students and teachers to ensure a future of value and benefit. (And we must expand more vocational study programs for those that will be caring for us in the future….) In my opinion,… a better investment for our Island home."
—Frederick Runlet emphasizes on prioritizing actions and policies that support both students and teachers to ensure a valuable and beneficial futureHot Topic Letter"The Barrett Group had recommended that the town develop a communitywide preservation plan to protect buildings with significant architectural character. I find this imperative."

The Clifford exhibit
On July 11, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum welcomed the Semenak family from Ottawa, the capital of Canada. They came so that their daughter Devin could experience the "Clifford" exhibition. Brien Heffler, the visitor services manager at the museum, is known to go to great lengths to make sure every individual makes a meaningful connection with the museum. Devin Semenak is 25 years old, but looks much younger, due to Charge Syndrome, a condition that affects her physical appearance. She is nonverbal, but communicates in many ways, such as sign language. Her affection for
Clifford the Big Red Dog was in full evidence as they spent the afternoon playing and getting a special visit from this loving character. Hear more about Devin’s experience at the Museum here.
