🦞🧬 Lobstermen caught a rare two-toned #lobster off the coast of #CapeCod and donated it to the #WoodsHole #Science #Aquarium.
This split coloration happens in roughly one in 50 million individuals when one fertilized egg absorbs another during development. The resulting #chimera carries two distinct sets of genetic information that affect shell pigmentation differently on each side.

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.

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
August 15, 2025
"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."

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.

.> Because the melted nuclear cores (corium) of reactors 1, 2 & 3 at Fukushima Dai'ichi are somewhere underneath the three reactor buildings, having melted out, workers at TEPCO have been pouring cold water on the corium since the meltdowns to cool the corium. This is both to prevent spontaneous fissioning, and also to carry heat away from the mess so that it may eventually be removed sometime later in this century (the melted core of Chernobyl is still underneath the reactor, almost 40 years later, and still has not schedule for removal). All of the water used to cool the corium is then pumped into holding tanks on the grounds of the Fukushima site. Also, groundwater flows through the basements that hold the corium, and that adds to the water being pumped out....
.> Because the dumping of the tanks is a political negative for the government of Japan, a pipeline is being built so that the water can simply be dumped via underground pipe, and the theatrics of dumping the tanks into the ocean can be avoided in the future. A political solution to a problem with few mechanical solutions...
.> What else can be done? As Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has said, the water could be moved to much larger tanks and held for up to a century, which would facilitate some further decay of the radioactivity of particles before they are released. However, this would be seen as a political negative as it would fill parts of Japan up with large holding tanks for a century, and remind everyone about the problem.

As Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has said, the water could be moved to much larger tanks and held for up to a century, which would facilitate some further decay of the radioactivity of particles before they are released. However, this would be seen as a political negative as it would fill parts of Japan up with large holding tanks for a century, and remind everyone about the problem.
