Whale Rope
Many fishermen say they re being unfairly blamed for the decline in the North Atlantic right whale population. Those deaths are being tied to rope used on fishing boats. Now, those fishermen are saying show me the rope. On Thursday night the rope was shown. Eve Zuckoff from GBH s Cape Cod bureau spoke with GBH All Things Considered
On Wednesday, a team from Provincetown’s Center for Coastal Studies managed to remove 300 feet of what appears to be fishing rope from the 16-year-old female known as Snow Cone, but experts fear more may be embedded in her jaw.

Wildflowers have long presented a quandary for gardeners. Their natural purity is sometimes too pure. The stems are weak, the flowers are small and fleeting, and the plants often melt away with excessive coddling.
Enter plant hybridizers, patient and ever ready to fix weaknesses and to appeal to the gardener s lust for showier flowers in new colors.
