It's not the Pacific, but even as someone who's gone from Cape Flattery to Dana Point, this still rates as one of the beachiest places I've ever stayed in: Nauset Beach. My capture of one November dawn over the Atlantic, "Massachusetts Dreaming".

Study confirms #GulfStream warming, shifting toward #MaineCoast

December 19, 2023

"The latest research finds the Gulf Stream has warmed faster than the global ocean over the past two decades, and has shifted toward the #AtlanticCoast.

"Scientists say the ocean current, which carries tropical water up the #EasternSeaboard, has warmed two degrees Fahrenheit since 2001 and could be pushing warmer water into the #GulfOfMaine.

"Robert Todd, an associate scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said years of data collection confirm what climate models predicted.

"'Long-term ocean observing really is important,' said Todd, 'and we need to keep making those observations so we can understand what’s actually happening in the climate system.'

"Todd said #OceanTemperatures are steadily rising as a result of human activities. He said the findings could determine how changes in the Gulf Stream will impact Maine’s coastal industries.

"The Woods Hole study relied on more than 25,000 ocean temperature and salinity observations collected through the Argo Program — an array of some 4,000 floating robots throughout the global ocean.

"In addition, underwater gliders have slowly navigated the Gulf Stream — revealing warm rings of water, which Todd says could enter the Gulf of Maine and alter marine #environments and species.

"'You can imagine if you have an organism that likes cold water, and suddenly the water is a whole lot warmer because this ring was there,' said Todd, 'those organisms might not be there anymore or might suffer — and then, the fisheries associated with that would suffer.'

"The Gulf of Maine — which stretches from #CapeCod in #Massachusetts to #NovaScotia, #Canada — is already considered one of the fastest-warming ocean regions on the planet.

"Todd said the data collected is shared in real time with scientists around the world."

Coastal vibes from the approach of winter, as grasses and weeds sway in the winds rippling through the marshes where the Pilgrims first encountered American soil. My photograph from Cape Cod, "Outer Lands".

#EastCoast land continues to collapse at a worrying rate
It's steadily sinking or #subsiding, which is destabilizing levees, roads, and airports. The #US #AtlanticCoast is dropping by several millimeters annually, with some areas, like #Delaware, notching figures several times that rate. So just as #sealevelrise increases, the land along the eastern #seaboard is sinking, greatly compounding the hazard for #coastal communities. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/east-coast-ground-continues-to-collapse-at-a-worrying-rate/

"𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄”...
I was so very blessed to recently experience the tranquil beauty of yet another summer sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Fell in love with this spot along the Georgia coast... I decided to call the picture “𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐓’𝐒 𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄” ...
