The secret love life of the longfin squid
By Lily Keyes| MIT SeaGrant
Squid have occupied New England’s maritime imagination for centuries, from fishermen’s tales of strange tentacled creatures to the widely publicized giant squid reports along North Atlantic coastlines in the 1800s. Today, we turn a curious eye toward the longfin inshore squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) — the “Boston squid” — which has long been an important part of regional commercial fisheries. These squid thrive in the emerald green depths off the coast of Massachusetts, where low visibility is characteristic of the turbid, nutrient-rich waters.
Five flounders featured at ‘Flat is Back’
At the end of Boston’s Fish Pier, past dozens of fish companies and the site of what was once called the nation’s largest daily fresh-fish auction, eight of the state’s top chefs gathered to celebrate and showcase a single fish: flounder.
A flyway for lifesavers
The town of Orleans lies directly below the flight path of the U. S. Coast Guard Helicopters leaving Air Station Cape Cod and heading out to the fishing grounds east of the Cape. They fly to aid distressed mariners in need of life saving assistance when other assets are not practicable.

Sara Cornell, our intern this summer, had the opportunity to go fishing on several boats, sometimes for 20 hours at a stretch. See the fisheries through her lens.
Flounders by any name taste great
A mid-September event at Boston Fish Pier brought together first-class chefs from across Massachusetts to kick off what’s being called the “FLAT IS BACK” marketing campaign, to get flounders (flat fish for sure) back to their rightful place on dinner plates everywhere.
