Thin, wounded right whale spotted off Cape Cod. Then came a ‘welcome surprise’

Researchers who usually begin watching for North Atlantic right whales in Cape Cod waters in December are now looking several weeks earlier, part of an effort to better understand what the critically endangered animals are doing before their winter arrival in Cape Cod Bay . The expanded survey season is already yielding sightings. During an Oct. 25 aerial survey, scientists with the Center for Coastal Studies spotted three right whales , including one showing signs of a recent entanglement and a mother-calf pair that is not likely to be seen together much longer. Why Cape Cod right whale surveys started two months early The sightings are part of a push to fill in what remains a poorly understood period in the whales' annual use of Massachusetts waters. While Cape Cod Bay is recognized as an important winter and spring feeding area for right whales, their movements during the fall have been less closely monitored. "Expanding our aerial surveys allows for earlier detection of North Atlantic right whales in state waters and surrounding areas, improving our understanding of trends in the species' distribution and helping inform management decisions," said Daniel Palacios, director of the Center for Coastal Studies' Right Whale Ecology

Griswold/Wheeler blanks Montville/St. Bernard for fifth straight win

Not even inclement weather can slow down the Griswold/Wheeler football team. Junior quarterback Liam Cassidy tossed two touchdown passes, senior running back Jaxson Demicco rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries, and the Wolverines’ defense forced seven turnovers en route to a 14-0 ECC Division 3 victory over Montville/St. Bernard during a steady rainstorm Friday night at Montville High School. It was the Wolverines’ fifth straight win . “I couldn’t be more proud of these guys,” Wolverines first-year coach Josh Howarth said. “They’re coming out every single week doing what we expect them to do. We’re playing great football at the right time.” The rain wreaked havoc for both teams during a scoreless first quarter that featured numerous fumbles and dropped passes. “We knew it was going to be a dogfight coming in here,” Howarth said. "Coach Tanner (Montville coach Grove) has these guys rolling right now. We knew that they want to run the ball and play power offense, especially with No. 50 (lineman D’Mitri Charles) who is an absolute stud. We had to play into their game and started to run the ball too. Unfortunately, with the rain and everything we had to play through the elements.” Early

Despite headwinds, Vineyard Wind, Revolution Wind come fully online

Offshore Wind Farms Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Two of the country’s first large-scale offshore wind farms are now fully operational, the developers announced this week, promising to power a combined 750,000 homes in Connecticut , Rhode Island , and Massachusetts . Vineyard Wind became fully operational on Oct. 29, spokesperson Craig Gilvarg confirmed in an email to The Light Friday. On Thursday, another project, Revolution Wind, announced it had also come fully online after three years of construction. Both projects finished installing their wind turbines earlier this year, Vineyard Wind in March and Revolution Wind in September. The new milestone means that all of the projects’ turbines are fully functional and capable of delivering power to the grid. Both projects also faced considerable stops and starts from an adversarial federal government, including an attempt last month to pull permitting for Revolution Wind after the project had already been completed. Green energy advocates celebrated the milestone, which they said would eliminate 1.6 million metric tons of carbon pollution annually — the equivalent of taking 325,000 cars off the road. “A fully operational Vineyard Wind means New England families have another clean, affordable, local source of energy being
