A NEW BOOK PUBLISHED BY THE FRIENDS OF PLEASANT BAY
Rowing Forward, Looking Back - Shellfish and the Tides of Change at the Elbow of Cape Cod, by Sandy Macfarlane
Cape Cod is one of America's most beloved vacation and retirement havens. It is also very fragile, threatened to its core by those who love it -- and may be loving it to death.
During the last third of the 20th century, dramatic social change collided head on with powerful natural forces on the Cape, and the old ways were transformed forever.
In this book, Sandy Macfarlane tells that story from a unique and compelling perspective. The first municipal Shellfish Biologist in Massachusetts, later Conservation Administrator for Orleans, Sandy was directly in the eye of the storm that swept over the Cape -- and now threatens to engulf it.
Rowing Forward Looking Back is her story, and Cape Cod's.
