CLIMATE CORNER

Adapting to a Changing Coastline

In the summertime, Cisco is one of Nantucket’s most popular beaches. Over time, we’ve seen erosion shift and reshape the coastline at this Land Bank beach, a phenomenon which is common across the shores of Nantucket.

FARMER IN FOCUS

Nick Larrabee of

My Grandfather's Farm

Nick grew up visiting his grandfather on Nantucket in the summertime – baling hay at his farm and going to see him at Nantucket Conservation Foundation’s Milestone Cranberry Bog, which he managed. Little did he know then that in 2006, he and his family would move to the island year-round when his father took on the job of managing the cranberry bog.
