We believe such activities would threaten critical ocean wildlifeand habitat and would present an unacceptable risk to the fishery resources of oneof the world’s premier fishing grounds, at Georges Bank. In addition to GeorgesBank, we believe these activities should be precluded from offshore areas, within100 miles of the Bay State coast, as well as the Stellwagen Bank National MarineSanctuary (map attached.) Georges Bank, Stellwagen Bank and nearshore oceanwaters are the most sensitive and important marine resources to the environmentand economy of the Bay State and must be protected.This position is consistent with Mass Audubon’s long and active history onthis critical conservation issue, dating to the early 1980s, when limited exploratorydrilling took place on the OCS and federal plans were advanced for a moreexpansive drilling program.However since that time, Congress and various Presidents have placed temporarybans on offshore drilling. Mass Audubon has supported those bans andwhen they expired or were revoked, we advocated for their reinstatement.In light of the Spring 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil crises, Senator Scott Brownand Congressman Ed Markey, will be filing legislation, to address offshore oiland gas drilling, along with spill-prevention measures. Mass Audubon will workwith our leaders in Washington, DC, to ensure that Massachusetts ocean watersare fully protected.For more information see http://www.massaudubon.org.Submitted by Polly Bradley, for Safer Waters in Massachusetts (SWIM)Nahant: A Garden of ArtPicture the perfect summer day in Nahant. A gentle sea breeze whispering throughthe tall grass along the beach. The gulls singing overhead as a boat’s engine is heard inthe distance, muted by the gently rolling surf. Add to that engaging music, lively conversation,fine food, fine wine and an inspiring location. Finish the thought with originalworks of art featuring Nahant’s natural beauty done by notable Boston and North Shoreartists and you have an unforgettable experience by the sea.Nahant resident and former gallery owner, Laura Erlich, has invited several localandnationally-known artists, to create on canvas a collection of bold and exciting seascapesof Nahant. These spectacular pieces of art will be for sale on the day of this eventwith a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Society’s oral history project. The artworkwill be presented in various sizes, mediums and price ranges.

NAHANT HARBOR REVIEW • JULY 2010 • Page 13Let’s Green Up Nahant!A forum for sharing environmental innovations and ideas that can lead to a healthier earth.SWIM Shortsby Polly Bradley, Safer Waters in Massachusetts (SWIM)Safer Waters in Massachusetts (SWIM) will meet on Monday, July 12th, at7:00 p.m., at Northeastern University Marine Science Center, East Point, Nahant.All are welcome and light refreshments will be served.This is the time of year that SWIM was made for. We literally can go for aSWIM and we are down there on the sand and along the rocks, appreciating andobserving our environment, in an intimate way that most of us don’t do yearround.So for Nahant’s environmental advocates, summer is a time to carefullyand caringly assess our course, for the following seasons. At our July 12th meeting,we’ll be looking at what SWIM can do, to think globally, act locally.The gusher in the Gulf of Mexico has been on everyone’s mind. I can’t thinkof it as a “spill” — it’s more than that. Once, when I was a little girl in Oklahoma,I saw a gusher, a real gusher, a black fountain dancing into the sky. I hope neveragain to see a gusher — or a tornado. Vive Nahant!The Massachusetts Audubon Society has released an excellent statement onoil and gas drilling in Massachusetts. See the MassAudubon article in this issue ofthe Harbor Review.Is it my imagination, or is energy subsuming environment?

Critical as renewable energy is to protectingthe environment, energy alone won’t take the place of saving forests fromclearcutting, saving fish from overfishing, saving birds by saving marshland,slowing down human population growth and protecting our parks from bothneglect and overuse.I’d like to see a new Civilian Conservation Corps, to put young people towork restoring our parks, rebuilding our infrastructure and cleaningup the mess in the Gulf. A much better boost to the economythan doling out welfare and rescuing banks!The drawing of the SWIM clothesline (pdf) is by Emily Pottsand the small SWIM logo is by Charlotte Moore.Please patronize our advertisers.If it weren’t for them, therewould NOT be aNahant Harbor Review.
