More than 100 volunteers hand-planted 20,000 stems of beach grass along an 800-foot stretch of Lobsterville Beach last week. By using this all-natural defense against erosion, the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe hopes to protect its homelands on Martha’s Vineyard from the impacts of climate change.

The orange excrement of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whales — so called because they were once seen as the right ones to hunt — can give researchers a window into their health.

Massachusetts' coastal communities were particularly hard hit, while Boston saw a record amount of snowfall in one day. We examine long-term concerns over flooding, erosion and climate change.

After rehabbing four loggerhead sea turtles that were found cold-stunned on Cape Cod beaches, researchers surgically implanted acoustic tags just under the turtles’ skin, and have since found them thriving in the wild.

Woods Hole marine biologists are taking advantage of a unique opportunity to understand why stripers do what they do in the wild.

That number represents an 8 percent decrease from the 2019 estimate, and the lowest population estimate for the species in nearly 20 years, according to the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, which announced the news today ahead of its annual meeting.

Federal officials say the rules, which are four years in the making, will reduce the whales’ risk of death and serious injury by 69% — and more protections will be phased in over the next decade as part of a conservation framework.

After a half century, a Cape Cod weather station is being demolished before it falls into the ocean. It's among many structures threatened by stronger storms and rising seas fueled by climate change.

For 50 years, the National Weather Service has taken atmospheric readings twice a day from an outpost on Cape Cod. But now, the very storms it helps to predict have caused massive erosion on the bluff where the facility sits.

A new study concludes that endangered right whales born today will end up smaller than adult whales in the past. Researchers say stress from getting caught in fishing gear stunts the mammals' growth
