The rocks at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse for #TextureTuesday. I finally had the chance to visit Pemaquid Point in Bristol, Maine the other day when I happened to be in the area. I was really blown away by the fascinating and beautiful geology of the area around the lighthouse.

According to the Maine Geological Survey, the rocks here are mostly metamorphic with some igneous. The gray layered rock is called gneiss and it was originally sediments at the bottom of the ocean that were metamorphosed 360-415 million years ago into what you see here. The light gray/whitish igneous rock is called pegmatite.

A photograph of a geologically-interesting rocky shoreline with a cylindrical white lighthouse and keeper’s house in the background. The rocks are a grayish metamorphic rock called gneiss that is heavily striated due to its origins as a sedimentary rock with many layers. The stripes in the rock run perpendicular to the angle/location the photo was taken from. The rocks are not only banded but also have a slightly wavy or undulating appearance to them. On the right side of the frame there is a band of whitish-gray igneous rock called pegmatite that runs along top a high point in the rock. All of the lines in the rock look like they are running toward the lighthouse.

Municipalities, residents decry gaps in N.S. coastal protection as 'death by 1,000 cuts'
Although the N.S. government says municipalities can bring in coastal bylaws to protect land and buildings, they don't have power over many infill projects.

⚠️"# Ocean acidification isn’t just an environmental crisis – it’s a ticking timebomb for marine #ecosystems and #coastal economies,” said PML’s Prof Steve Widdicombe, who is also co-chair of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network."

On #WorldOceanDay, new co-authored paper that calls for rethinking development in coastal zones, away from extractive models and toward approaches that respect local knowledge, ecological interdependence, and justice.
As climate change threatens our coasts, we must listen to and amplify the voices of communities who have long lived in harmony with the ocean

Thurston’s Wharf. One of Maine’s many historical working waterfront locations still used by lobstermen today. The wharf buys lobsters from many of the boats that fish out of the harbor and provides bait, fuel, and storage space for lobster traps and other gear.

A film photo of a wharf used by lobstermen in Maine. In the foreground and left side of the frame you can see the wharf structure which is comprised of piling holding up a wooden platform upon which there are buildings and open spaces used by fishermen to store traps. Further in the background there is a float with a ramp to it with a boat tied up. Beyond that there is a second wharf, and finally the mountains of Acadia National Park are visible. The water is glossy calm and the film’s blue hues are very slightly towards turquoise.
