<a href="http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/coastal-water-quality/cpr/coastal-watershed-communities.html">
Massachusetts Coastal Watershed</a> to support designs that lead to the construction of retrofits to stormwater infrastructure. Eligible communities should review

<i>Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Stormwater BMPs and Recommended BMP Design Considerations in Coastal Communities</i></a> for an overview of possible impacts and retrofits. The goal of this grant is to produce designs that will lead to future implementation

<p class="CZ-MailParagraph">Recommended design practices for seawalls and revetments have advanced significantly over the last 50 years. Any repair or reconstruction project for seawalls and revetments—whether minor repairs or complete reconstruction—should
therefore include design improvements based on the best available techniques to reduce impacts, improve structure longevity, and minimize maintenance costs. This new CZM fact sheet,

<a href="http://www.oceanconservancy.org/our-work/international-coastal-cleanup/">
International Coastal Cleanup</a>.<span class="MsoHyperlink"> </span>Thousands of volunteers have already turned out throughout Massachusetts this year to collect marine debris, such as trash, fishing line, and other human-made items, and record what they found.
At Stage Fort Pak in Gloucester, <span style="background:white">local officials, campers, interns, and volunteers from the Cape Ann YMCA and Maritime Gloucester joined Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matt Beaton to
</span>collect more than 380 cigarette butts from the park’s shoreline. At Carson Beach, 40 volunteers collected more than 175 pounds of trash from a seemingly pristine beach. But COASTSWEEP isn’t over yet! There is still plenty of time to volunteer at a scheduled
cleanup or to organize one of your own at a local beach, coastal site, or even an underwater site. All the supplies (bags, gloves, data cards, pencils, etc.) are provided free of charge, and cleanups can be scheduled at your convenience into early November.

<p class="CZ-MailParagraph">As you enjoy your favorite ghost stories this Halloween season, be sure to check out some of the bizarre tales and often unsolved mysteries that “haunt” the Commonwealth’s coast. With more than 1,500 miles of coastline, a seafaring
history that dates back to the time of the earliest human inhabitants, and important coastal sites from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, it’s no wonder that the Bay State is home to a rich history of maritime myths and folklore. For details on some famous

<p class="CZ-MailParagraph"><span class="CZ-MailItem">Marine Spatial Planner</span> - October will be the last month for CZM’s Marine Spatial Planner Emily Chambliss Huntley as she relocates to North Carolina with her family. Hired in 2008, Emily played an
important role in the development of the groundbreaking 2009 Massachusetts Ocean Plan, and her mapping and analysis are imprinted on both that plan and its 2015 successor. Emily also worked on a myriad of other CZM efforts, including seafloor mapping, developing
and cultivating the Massachusetts Ocean Resource Information System (MORIS), delineating the Commonwealth’s Designated Port Areas (DPAs), and creating and maintaining much of spatial data that CZM uses on a daily basis. We will miss her many technical skills,
willingness to dig in to any project no matter how big or small, and unsurpassed attention to detail. Most of all, however, we will miss her friendly professionalism, work ethic, and pure positivity. Best of luck Emily in all your future endeavors!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="CZ-MailParagraph"><span class="CZ-MailItem">Seeking King Tides Photos</span> - King Tide, the highest tide of the year, is rolling into Massachusetts October 17 through 19. The Massachusetts Bays National Estuary Program, Boston Harbor Now, the New
England Aquarium, and the Museum of Science-Boston are teaming up to encourage people to document effects of this natural phenomenon on coastal structures and natural resources with cameras and smartphones. King Tides occur twice a year, when Earth, the moon,
and the sun align and maximize gravitational forces to produce extreme tides and currents. October’s high tide is expected to be more than 12 feet high in Duxbury and Barnstable, where the typical high tide is between 9 and 11 feet. Extreme high tides illustrate
what may become—with sea level rise—the new tidal norm. Head out to the shore to document flooding using CZM’s new MyCoast app, which is available for free on Android and Apple devices. See
<a href="http://www.mycoast.org/ma">MyCoast</a> for details. For more information, including a list of the best sites for observing the impacts, visit the
