OK, it’s time. I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be covering breaking news, general assignment and enterprise stories for WBUR, Boston’s NPR station. The work begins May 27. A big part of my beat will be Boston City Hall — between now and November 4, I’ll be closely following the mayoral race.

Big professional news:  After just under six years, next week will be my last at @wcai-npr.bsky.social WCAI. What follows is a series of thank yous and reflections, and a love letter to the Cape, Coast, and Islands listening community.

Excited to see folks at our Provincetown live podcast today! In case you're wandering by and want to hear me and CAI's @evezuckoff.bsky.social talk #mapoli climate and housing crises with an excellent local panel, doors open at 6:30 p.m. 🌊

Hours after his inauguration, President DonaldTrump signed an executive order halting new federal leases for offshore wind projects. He cited, as one reason, the impact OSW has on marine life. “If you’re into whales,” he said, “you don’t want windmills.” Whale experts say the facts show otherwise. ⬇️

Great explainer from @evezuckoff.bsky.social on offshore wind and whales.

Provincetown is experimenting with a new flood barrier to protect low-lying areas during coastal storms. It’s temporary and quick to set up. And residents in the East End of town say they’re anxious for it to work. CAI's @evezuckoff.bsky.social has this report.

North Atlantic right whales currently only live to about 22 years old, but a new study finds they should be able to live to over 130. @evezuckoff.bsky.social brings us this report.

It was a joy to work with @evezuckoff.bsky.social on this complex story about a disappearing whale species, climate change, misinformation, and how science is tangled up in it all. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/off...

“Everybody loves turtles.” In the last few days, volunteers have rescued about 300 cold-stunned sea turtles from stranding on Cape Cod beaches. I checked in on the effort to nurse them back to health at a warehouse-turned-sea turtle hospital in Quincy, MA. www.capeandislands.org/local-news/2...

A Cry for Kelp “That we’re seeing a persistent decline in kelp forests across the Gulf of Maine? That’s not a warning bell. That’s a giant waving red flag on fire that warming is altering our oceans here in New England.” www.bostonglobe.com/video/2024/1... via @BostonGlobe

Dozens of offshore wind farms are slated for construction off the East Coast over the next 50 years. So a group of researchers, regulators, and fishers want to know: how will the construction noise impact lobsters, scallops, squid and more? Our latest goes inside the effort to find out.
