Hype for the Future 65C: Martha’s Vineyard, the Island of Dukes County

Introduction While the Elizabeth Islands that separate the Buzzards Bay from the Vineyard Sound are located off the coast of the Woods Hole area and contain the Town of Gosnold, the vast majority of the approximately seventy (70) permanent residents are exclusively within the area of the village of Cuttyhunk on Cuttyhunk Island specifically, as the remaining islands are largely identified as privately owned by the Boston Brahmin Forbes family. The vast majority of Dukes County, […]

September 30, 2013: I decided to zero at Woods Hole. It was a slow morning, with now tasty food. I helped move some cows to a different pasture, then helped put up an electric fence. Then another home cooked dinner, and bed. Quite a nice day here, and Neville is awesome

September 29, 2013: Turns out my campsite last night wasn't very flat, but I slept well. Today there were more tunnels of rhododendron, probably super nice in the spring. At Sugar Run Gap I turned off the trail and walked the short distance down to Woods Hole. This is a hostel and working farm. I got dinner, which was family style Mexican food. I think I'll sleep well in the bunk room tonight.

Ummmm, I'm thinking my days of wading in the ocean are over... "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water" -- tagline from Jaws2.

‘Only a matter of time’: Warming ocean water will make #FleshEatingBacteria that infected #CapeCod swimmer more common

By Sabrina Shankman Globe

"News that a Cape Cod swimmer contracted an infection from a bacteria that can cause a flesh-eating disease earlier this month has stunned many across #Massachusetts, but it was no surprise to David Hamer, an infectious disease expert at Boston University.

" 'It’s been sort of only a matter of time,' said Hamer, who helps lead work on #ClimateChange and emerging diseases at the university.

"The infection was caused by a #VibrioVulnificus — a bacteria that thrives in warm water and is more commonly found in areas like the Gulf Coast. Other bacteria in the Vibrio family, including those that cause cholera and acute gastroenteritis, similarly thrive in warm water.

"That’s where climate change comes in, making #NewEngland waters friendlier for the potentially deadly bacteria. 'With warmer water temperatures moving further north, it allows Vibrios to survive, during summer months in particular, at higher latitudes than it had previously,' said Hamer.

"And the water is warmer. Midsummer ocean temperatures were about 2.75 degrees warmer in the period from 2021 to 2025 than they were 20 years ago, according to data from an ocean temperature monitor in #WoodsHole, near where the swimmer contracted the virus."

Flesh-eating bacteria more common because climate change

A bacteria that can cause flesh-eating infections is attracted to warmer ocean temperatures. A Cape swimmer was recently infected, and more cases are expected in the future.

Experiment will attempt to counter #climatechange by altering #ocean
“If we really want to have a shot at mitigating the worst effects of climate change, #carbon removal needs to start scaling to the point where it can supplement large-scale #emissions reductions,” said Adam Subhas, an associate scientist in marine #chemistry and #geochemistry at the #WoodsHole #Oceanographic Institution (#WHOI), who will oversee the week-long experiment.
