The South County coastline has “a string of coastal lagoon estuaries formed after the recession of the glaciers 12,000 years ago.” Kayaking these is one of the best ways to discover them. They are protected from the surf and harbor a variety of wildlife.
“These salt ponds are called estuaries because they are where the fresh water (rivers or brooks) meets the sea. Ecologically they are a nursery ground for many fish and serve as a habitat for shellfish, migratory fish and birds. For humans, they are an important source of seafood and recreation.”
The Salt Pond Coalition offers a beautiful map of these salt ponds in South County and we rent kayaks that you can easily put on the top of any car (form pads included).

David Ingram pulled up one of his pots this week and found in it a lobster that looked a little different… It was yellow. Scientist say yellow lobsters are about 1:30 million. David plans to donate the little guy to a local aquarium.

ProJo reported yesterday that an old wooden ship has been uncovered not far from East Matunuck State Beach. It is lying on her side and “seaweed drapes much of the eroded woodwork — timbers nine inches square extending from keel to gunwale and still covered in part by strakes, wooden planks that run from stem to stern. Here and there a green stain betrays the occasional metal pin, perhaps of copper, but the hull is held together mostly by wooden pegs.”

Captain Dave Sutton rings the bell of the Andrea Doria for the first time since the ship sank in 1956. The bell rings out with wonderful tone. Recovered June 26, 2010 by Ernie Rookey and Carl Bayer on the Silverstein/Sutton 2010 Andrea Doria Expedition.
