SUMMARY: A nationwide team is working to help save the 394 critically endangered sea turtles, including the Mississippi 70, that get trapped into the bay. These turtles are recovering from being trapped in the bay and their temperatures have been recorded to be in the thirties. The goal is to release them back into open waters, but the geographical shape of Massachusetts poses a challenge to navigating straight south and getting trapped in the bay. Overall, efforts are being made to save these turtles from endangerment and prevent further conversations about their extinction.

SUMMARY: Long Beach city leaders are progressing towards repairing the storm-damaged harbor, following Hurricane Zeta’s destruction of piers and docks in October 2020. In a recent meeting, aldermen voted to solicit bids for inner harbor repairs. Although FEMA awarded the city $2.58 million, rising costs due to inflation may exceed this amount. FEMA will reimburse the actual repair costs, prompting the city to finalize expenditure estimates. Harbor improvement efforts will continue under the current administration until June 30, with additional work underway on the inner bulkhead wall funded by Tidelands Gulf Restoration and Gilsa funds.
