CZM Co-Hosts and Participates in the National Working Waterfront Conference
From July 19-21, CZM co-hosted the National Working Waterfront Network (NWWN) Conference in coordination with the Urban Harbors Institute at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Boston and Maine Sea Grant. At the 2022 conference, held at the UMass oceanfront campus, CZM participated as speakers and panelists for several program sessions. CZM Director Lisa Engler participated in a panel discussion to address how New England’s working waterfronts are adapting to change. CZM Assistant Director Tyler Soleau moderated a panel discussion focused on leveraging partnerships and funding to create thriving working waterfronts for traditional marine industries, as well as the emerging offshore wind industry in Massachusetts. The CZM team of Regional Coordinators facilitated another panel, moderated by North Shore Regional Coordinator Kathryn Glenn, on coastal resilience issues for working waterfronts, where industries must balance the need to continue operations directly adjacent to the coast while implementing resiliency techniques that protect infrastructure and assets from climate change impacts, including sea level rise and increased coastal storm surge. For more information, see the 2022 NWWN Conference website<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalworkingwaterfronts.com%2Fcurrent-conference%2F&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7C6b2610c203c348069b7308da73c68928%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C637949594998023514%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wnmhRKLC3oxwPzrWSjiudSjyE79CHkgTUrR8keF%2FTtQ%3D&reserved=0>.

New Geophysical and Geological Data from Cape Cod Bay
CZM and U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) have published High-Resolution Geophysical and Geological Data Collected in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts During USGS Field Activities 2019-002-FA and 2019-034-FA<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5066%2FP99DR4PN&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7C6b2610c203c348069b7308da73c68928%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C637949594998023514%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QC%2BbpyaKLH1bEXModRghzMRhTDXyDf%2BkV51cpm%2B0kJY%3D&reserved=0>, datasets that includes more than 4,700-trackline-kilometers of bathymetric, backscatter, subbottom, and multi-channel seismic data, as well as seafloor photo, underwater video, and sediment texture data. These datasets are the first systematic mapping of the southern-most Gulf of Maine since the 1940s and offer an unprecedented view of the Bay’s seafloor and subseafloor. The data support research on the geologic evolution of coastal Massachusetts, the influence of sea-level change and sediment supply on coastal change through time, and efforts to understand the type, distribution, and quality of subtidal marine habitats. This effort is part of a long-term collaboration between CZM and USGS to map the State’s waters and develop high-resolution geologic maps and Geographic Information System (GIS) data that serve the needs of research, management, and the public.
