thrilled to host author Sandy Macfarlane on Monday, July 29 <span></span></b><b>at 2 p.m. for an
afternoon presentation</b> filled with stories and insights from Macfarlane’s
most recent book <span></span><i>Swirling Currents:
Controversy, Compromise, and Dynamic Coastal Change</i>. <span></span></p>

fish; turtles stranding; fisheries reeling; shellfish aquaculture expanding;
Gulf of Maine heating rapidly and Gulf Stream slowing down — all in the context
of dynamic coastal change. Sandy Macfarlane probes the stories behind the
headlines in an engaging narrative of personal stories and scientific
investigation that entertains as well as informs. <i>Swirling Currents</i> navigates “managing coastal environments and
social pressures of today with historical perspectives of the past and the
needs of the future.” (Dr. Judith McDowell, Woods Hole Sea Grant Director,
Emeritus).<span></span></p>

youth and continues today. Aided by forty years of hands-on experience in
resource evaluation, policy and management, and decades of recreational rowing
in her 14-foot Cape Dory, she learned about the biological and physical world
around her. In the process, she also gained insight into the social, political,
and economic landscape of coastal communities. Swirling Currents is her third
book.<span></span></p>
