These voracious crustaceans forage for juvenile shellfish, destroy eelgrass precious to underwater ecosystems, and can produce over 150,000 eggs per female. "One Bad Crab," a film by Sandy Cannon-Brown, documents officials' and professionals' campaign against the invasive species. The film premieres at the M.V. Film Center, Sunday, March 9. Read more |

Quote of the Day |
|
“The principal interest is resilience ... With the increase of serious weather events, we are concerned that if there is an outage on the grid, town hall is supposed to be a warming shelter, and we want to keep police and fire departments going.”
—Bill Lake on the benefits of a town hall microgrid for Aquinnah |
