Researchers from the wolffish tagging project are around and about the waterfront these days.
Look for the researchers and their interns offloading from commercial fishing boats chartered for the day to haul and tag wolves at Stellwaggen Bank.
Here’s their research link: http://www.wolffishtagging.org/
If you land a tagged wolffish, let them know:

Hi Joey,
I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that Folgers®, with the help of celebrity judge Kara DioGuardi, named the winner of the Folgers® Jingle Contest yesterday. The Grand Prize winner is Courtney R. and she is from Gloucester, MA so we thought the local affiliation may appeal to you. She has won $25,000, a mentoring session with Kara and the chance to appear in a Folgers commercial.

VIVA, Greasy Pole, the Musical!
I said to Joey this morning, “When are you going to see ‘Greasy Pole, the Musical!’? It is great. Everyone should see it.” Being Joey, he asked me to write my reactions, so here they are.
Enjoy one hour of heart and history, laughter, song, soul, food and faith. Everyone, local Gloucesterites, newcomers, visitors and tourists, should go see this wonderful production that is the premiere performance at The Annie. High praise and joyful appreciation go to the cast, crew, musicians, backers and audience last night that made the play a perfect opening event for the summer.
Even those of us who have enjoyed St. Peter’s Fiesta for many years in the past were treated to a deeper understanding of the role that “walkin’ the pole” has played in the history of our city. And the singing, including spontaneous participation by the audience, was exuberant and full, celebrating life, death, joy and sadness. Out-of-town friends who joined us in the fun last night now want to return to Gloucester to enjoy the real Festival and Walk.
Our special thanks go to Henry Allen, Keith Palazzola, Robert Newton and the fantastic band.
And Joey, try to make time to see this show. Bring the family!

The Burnham’s Field Gardener Series
Burnham’s Field is the largest green space in central Gloucester. Recently there’s been a resurgence of pride in Burnham’s Field, including a new 20-plot garden. In some ways, the Burnham’s Field Community Garden represents what’s best about Gloucester: a close-knit, hard-working community that cares for its neighbors. GoodMorningGloucester is now running a series of video profiles of the Burnham’s Field Community Gardeners. Here are their stories.

I’d never seen a baby black crowned night heron before yesterday morning. As a matter of fact I’d never seen more than one black crowned night heron at the same time.
Lucky day!
