Cape Cod Towns Lead the Way on Sea Level Rise Planning
With help from WHOI Sea Grant’s floodplain specialist, three Cape Cod towns are pioneering new approaches to coastal flooding as sea level rise threatens to expand flood zones far beyond their current boundaries. Through a groundbreaking project in association with the Pleasant Bay Alliance, the towns of Orleans, Chatham, and Harwich are working to adopt…

O-STEAM-Powered Drifters We’re tracking currents in Cape Cod Bay over the next year using drifters! Starting this fall, we will release drifters once each season to collect real-world observations of the Cape Cod Bay circulation. How does the circulation pattern change during different seasons? How long will the instruments drift before eventually coming ashore? What…
