LOBSTER TRAP GIFTS

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Check Out This Article About The Wine Trap–

If there are two things that I love dearly in this world, it is lobster and wine. And when both are elegantly intertwined (Quite literally), art is born. Enza Iacono of Gloucester, MA  found a way to achieve this sustainable brilliance, and her creations are both aesthetically pleasing as well as fun and functional.

Lobster Trap Gifts was born in 2016, and originally began as a hobby. The only daughter, and youngest of of six children, Enza grew up in a commercial fishing family, dating back to the 1900’s. She has fond memories of awaiting dockside, the return of all five brothers as well as her father, from their various voyages at sea. And although Enza never became a fisherwoman herself, she has found another way to exercise her own unique hand at the trade – Her own expression of a sincere love and passion for the ocean.

And we have whiskey to thank for the ingenuity behind Lobster Trap Gifts, an idea that began from Enza’s husband’s desire for a shelf to display his collection. The shelf was constructed from lobster trap wire, supporting the whiskey and complete with door and closure – True to a genuine lobster trap.

WE NEED VOLUNTEER PIPING PLOVER MONITORS SATURDAY AT THE PIPL NESTING AREA #3

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

No one paid attention to our signs that we added to the nesting area yesterday. My friend Deborah Cramer stopped by to see the PiPl and watched half a dozen dogs running through and playing in the nesting area. When I returned to the beach at 6:30, the PiPl were in the parking lot, again driven out of the nesting area by off leash dogs. Very frightening when an SUV drove past and they didn’t budge.

While the PiPL were in the parking lot, I thought would be good time to reinforce the signs with duct tape. When at the nesting area adjusting signs, there were more dogs owners allowing dogs to run through and completely ignoring the signs.

Reading the federal regulations from the USFWS:

“Pets should be leashed and under control of their owners at all times from April 1 to August 31 on beaches where piping plovers are present or have traditionally nested. Pets should be prohibited on these beaches from April 1 through August 31 if, based on observations and experience, pet owners fail to keep pets leashed and under control.”

All the signs in the world won’t make people who don’t care, care.

Tomorrow, especially at high tide, and as the skies are clearing, I am afraid will be another terrible situation for the PiPl. If you would like to lend a hand, please email me at kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com or just come. I will be there for the better part of the day and will show you what to do. High tide tomorrow is at 10:54 am. Thank you!

OCEAN ALLIANCE APPEARING ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AND RECEIVES A WEBBY ALL IN ONE WEEK!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Congratulations to Iain Kerr and Ocean Alliance!

Iain writes,

“On Monday April 30th 10:00 pm East Coast time our 2017 Sea of Cortez, Parley SnotBot field season will be featured in the National Geographic channel show. One Strange Rock.

I think that our presence in this show will be brief.

Yesterday we learnt that our Intel / Parley SnotBot production Below the Surface won a webby (this is like an Emmy but for web produced products).

Beautiful Fish: Snipe Eel

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The Snipe Eel has been taken in deep water at many stations off the east coast of North America between latitudes 31° and 42°N., longitudes 65° and 75°W.  Capture near Bermuda of a snipe eel clinging by its jaws to the tail of a large red snapper has suggested that such may be a regular habit of this curious species.  Maximum length about 3 feet.

One specimen taken from the stomach of a codfish caught on Georges Bank in 45 fathoms is the only Gulf of Maine record, but several have been taken in depths of from 300 to 2,000 fathoms on the seaward slope of the bank.

Another email from NOAA

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Just received another email from NOAA.  Very exciting

Thank you so much Donna, we really appreciate it!  We directed an aerial survey over that location today based on your report and we found seven right whales in that vicinity, all of which we were able to photo document for research purposes.

 

Thanks again!

 

Received an email from NOAA regarding the Right Whale off of Magnolia

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Yesterday I received a survey email from NOAA asking about the whale that I saw off of Shore Road and Rafe’s Chasm.  They saw the information of Good Morning Gloucester.  Sent NOAA the grainy photos, wish they were better but with the rain and wind it was not easy to get a decent photo.  Also sent them the times of the sightings.  Today I received the email below.  We are lucky to have Ocean Alliance right here in Gloucester and Iain Kerr came over.  https://www.whale.org/

Mariners are urged to use caution and proceed at safe speeds in areas used by right whales. Federal law prohibits operating vessels 65 feet or greater in excess of 10 knots in certain areas and times along the US east coast. Approaching right whales closer than 500 yards is a violation of federal and state law.

Charles Neville’s generous spirit, wisdom, music & smile will be deeply missed

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Our friend Charles Neville is gone. He was a generous spirit who shared his soul and his tremendous wisdom with everyone he knew. Vickie and I were blessed to know him for just over 10 years, and in that short time we felt the warmth of his heart, the power of his music and the brilliance of his infectious smile transform every audience who had the great pleasure of being in the house while he was on stage. We are deeply grateful to Henri Smith for bringing Charles to Gloucester and Beverly and introducing him to us. Here’s a taste of what it was like to be in his presence — filmed at Celebrate Gloucester in 2010 and at the Larcom in Beverly in 2013.
