Because the scientists found that sand is deposited mostly during storm events from offshore, they predict that these Dartmouth areas will be affected even more with the progression of climate change and its greater storm frequency and intensity.

Once a year, the New Bedford Harbor shipping channel closes so that hundreds of swimmers can cross the harbor in this one-of-a-kind scenic point-to-point open water swim. Registration has opened for the 33rd annual Buzzards Bay Swim, which will take place on Saturday, June 20, beginning at Cisco Brewers Kitchen and Bar in New Bedford, go across New Bedford Harbor, and finish at Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven.
Runnels were used successfully at two Buzzards Bay sites—Ocean View and Little Bay—to restore important salt marsh habitat by restoring tidal flow while not “dramatically affecting sediment characteristics or rates of carbon decomposition.”
