Water Watch 2012: Titanic

The sinking of the RMS Titanic was one of the largest peacetime maritime tragedies in history, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people. After setting sail for New York City on 10 April 1912 with 2,223 people on board, she hit an iceberg four days into the crossing, at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 am on the morning of 15 April. The high casualty rate resulting from the sinking was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women and children first protocol that was enforced by the ships crew. What was done to prevent future tragedies The United States Revenue Cutter Service, later to become the United States Coast Guard, instituted the International Ice Patrol, an organization still operated within the Coast Guard today, from right here in New England. Their work of tracking icebergs continues to this day, a century after the most unthinkable disaster took down the worlds unsinkable ship. Registration is not required.

Water Watch 2012: The Search for and Discovery of Air France Flight 44

On April 4, 2011, a team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) located the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean off Brazils northeastern coast in nearly 2.5 miles of water. Learn how the search team scoured some of the most rugged seafloor terrain using specialized vehicles to find the wreck, whose location remained a mystery for nearly two years. The crews success enabled the recovery of the flight data recorders-- crucial for providing answers to the victims families and the airline industry about why the plane went down. For the past 25 years David has been at the forefront of ocean exploration and was one of the first scientists to use a combination of robots and submarines to map deep-sea mountain ranges. Most recently he was co-expedition leader on a mapping the Titanic and the successful search for the missing aircraft, Air France 447. Registration is not required.

Water Watch 2012: Shucked

Let Erin Murray, author of Shucked, take you on a unique tour of the oyster business from an insiders perspective. In this engrossing and very personal account, a young woman from Boston ditches her pampered city girl lifestyle and convinces the rowdy crew at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury, Massachusetts, to let a completely unprepared, aquaculture-illiterate food and lifestyle writer work for them for 18 months to learn the business of oysters. It is an in-depth look at the work that goes into getting oysters from farm to table, and shows Erins full-circle journey through the modern day oyster farming process. It also tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead.

On April 6, 2007, an early spring storm broke through Cape Cods barrier beach. Overnight the citizens of Chatham had to contend with as much sea level rise as most communities will face in the next 50 years.

Another hundred houses and the third most lucrative fishing port in New England will be endangered in the coming years. Sea Level rising is a clarion call for a coastal communities to prepare for the chronic effects of global warming.

Water Watch 2012: Ospreys and Eagles: They Have Returned

During Massachusetts first Breeding Bird Atlas, compiled during the 1970s, ospreys bred in only one place: the Westport River. Today, they are synonymous with the South Shore coastline. Bald eagles, succumbing to the same pesticides that killed ospreys during the 1950s and 1960s, were so far gone they had to be reintroduced to nesting sites in the Quabbin Reservoir area; now, just three decades later, they nest in Plymouth County and winter along the North River and on the Plymouth coast. The resurgence of these two species came as a result of natural resiliency and human intervention in the lives of disappearing species. Registration is not required.

Water Watch 2012: A Tale of Two Lobsters

North American lobsters are iconic throughout New England and support a historically successful fishery unmatched by few even today. However there are still large unknowns concerning some of their most fundamental biological processes including growth, reproduction, egg development, and patterns of movement. Using creative technological solutions, scientists and fishermen alike hone in on patterns of lobster movement both in the Gulf of Maine and in the Great Bay Estuary and have been surprised by some of their findings. Other factors such as the impacts of fluctuating ocean temperatures provide insight into how coastal waters and estuaries may change at both regional and local scales, thus impacting the future health and distribution of lobster stocks.
