New and Noteworthy, U.S. East Coast
Near large East Coast population centers are magical natural worlds where undeveloped, under-the-radar islands serve as critical resting, nesting, and feeding grounds for migratory birds and mammals. Explore remote archipelagos in three states that are refuges for thousands of common and roseate terns and tens of thousands of gray seals. The marine ecosystems are equally fascinating with eelgrass meadows, corals, sponges, and an underwater plateau that draws 17 species of whales, creating New England's only national marine sanctuary. We’ll explore picturesque seaside towns, lighthouses, and historic forts and get an insider’s look at leading scientific research stations and important conservation efforts.
