It’s Okay To Be Shellfish

28 EASY Y STREET

It’s fun to wonder what Nantucket might have looked like before the arrival of the Wampanoags, during the booming whaling days, and the explosion of tourism today. The landscape must have been so very different.

Thick scrub oak forests, rolling meadows, and seagrass lining every shore paints a picture of an incredibly healthy, thriving, and balanced ecosystem. There is no doubt that a lot has changed in a few hundred years, and we’re lucky that there are people working to bring some of that balance back from the brink.

The ocean and all of its endless glory is what draws most people here. But it’s the beaches and waters that surround us, especially the harbor, that have seen the most change. A century of pollution, fertilizer runoff, and a bounty of other blights have changed the nature of the sea and specifically the creatures that live there. Due to these factors and more, their numbers have declined dramatically, and the health of our harbor is waning as a result.

Shellfish once thrived in abundance in our coastal waters. They were not only delicious and a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, but they helped to clean their habitat and provide shelter and spaces to for others to grow. Defined as filter feeders, animals like clams, oysters, and scallops remove particles and impurities from the ocean while they eat.

Thankfully, groups like the Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery are doing their part to help. A facility operated by the town of Nantucket, the staff specializes in the production of Nantucket bay scallops to supplement the wild population in Nantucket and Madaket Harbors. Shellfish Biologist Tara Riley heads the operation.

Located next to Brant Point Lighthouse, the small, unassuming boathouse is where the magic happens. Tara and her team work to restore both the bay scallop commercial and recreational fisheries, in addition to oysters, quahogs, water quality, and more. “Anything that has to with the harbor, we’re involved,” she says.

Tara was drawn to this line of work after just one class in college. “I was fascinated with the field of aquaculture and fisheries from my first exposure to a class I

New programs for all ages are happening this summer season at the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum.

To take advantage of the sunny island weather during July and August, outdoor activities on the beautiful grounds of this museum include free maritime fun for all ages. Monday through Friday, visitors can drop-in to participate in How to Use Sail Power, Sending Morse Code Messages, Making Your Own Rope, Using Signal Flags, and how to Tie Knots Like a Salty Sailor. Plus, visitors can attend (and help with) a demonstration on how to rescue Marshall the Sea Dog using the popular breeches buoy technique.

In line with Egan’s mission, these summer programs introduce young minds to maritime culture through family-friendly activities and engage visitors of all ages in stories of heroic Nantucket mariners.

“The activities are inspired by Egan Maritime’s Sea of Opportunities curriculum. Our team provides hands-on learning to anyone who visits the museum.

We hope to inspire children to dive in and learn more about maritime culture.” explained Director of Education Evan Schwanfelder.

Inside the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, included with the price of admission, all patrons are treated to a guided museum tour, along with a handful of new programs for the summer season. Exciting tours of the 2022 featured exhibition Gallant Guardians: The Nantucket Lightship are offered, along with new short presentations that bring insight into the struggles and triumphs of volunteer and professional lifesavers. Another new program for this season is Collection Curiosities, which features an in-depth look at selections from the many unique artifacts in the museum’s collection. With white-glove care, visitors will get an up-close view and description of how these artifacts help the museum tell the dramatic stories of heroism and sacrifice.

Located 3.5 miles from the center of Nantucket town at 158 Polpis Road, the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum is open until October. Courtesy rides to the Museum on The Shipwreck Shuttle depart from the Visitors’ Center Monday through Saturday. For times of operation and admission details, visit eganmaritime.org.

The museum participates in the Blue Star program, offering active members of the military and their families free admission.

Award-winning vocalist Marc Martel will take the stage as the special musical guest at the 25th annual Boston Pops on Nantucket alongside the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, bringing the music of legendary rock band Queen, to Nantucket on August 13th at Jetties Beach.

THEATRE REVIEW: WE WILL ROCK YOU

Guaranteed to Blow Your Mind

by Suzanne Daub

9 Centre Street

In a future when everyone dresses, acts, and thinks the same, when musical instruments are banned, when a global software company controls the dystopian world—can music save us?

It’s a heavy premise for a jukebox musical that turns out to be energetic, inspiring, humorous, uplifting, a little cheesy, and a whole lot of foot-stompin’ fun.

Theatre Workshop of Nantucket brings the worldwide hit musical We Will Rock You to its Nantucket stage in Bennett Hall through August 16. The story and script by Ben Elton follows a pair of outcasts as they flee from the the evil corporation GlobalSoft and its enforcers led by Commander Khashoggi. They team up with a group of leather-bodice-and-fishnet-clad Bohemians who are looking for the “lost vibe,” fighting the evil corporation and Killer Queen, and waiting for the appearance of a legendary Dreamer. This Dreamer is prophesied to lead them to the last remaining musical instrument which will restore music and individuality to iPlanet.

The play takes a deep dive into rock & roll, with places and character names that are references to famous rock artists and characters in songs by Queen. Dialog cleverly threads in a wide range of popular song lyrics, adding to the tongue-

When the Wind Turns There Is Always Plan C

by Robert P. Barsanti

The youngest and I went off-island to take a driver’s test. Nature might be healing from Covid but it takes the Registry of Motor Vehicles a little longer to get back to up to speed than the rest of us do. The brewers were up faster than the restaurants, the restaurants before the health clubs, and the Registry comes dawdling at the end of the line. So, the office in the town building remains shortstaffed, and Registry business either comes zapping over the wires or steaming across the water. So we steamed.

It has been a journey. On Nantucket, he needed to sign up for driver’s lessons.

Then, he needed to thread them through swim practices, meets, rehearsals, and work. Then Covid. He was locked in his house, then, as schools opened up, driving emerged on slowly and hesitantly. Now, five years after the journey began, he was ready to take a final step.

Driving on Nantucket, as we all know, requires a different set of skills than driving on Route 28. You need to wave people through a five-way stop; you need to avoid potholes; you need to negotiate the rotary with confidence and discretion. On Route 28, they have turning lanes, they have stop lights with flashing yellow arrows, and they have Suburbans from Iowa who thought they could get a Lobster Roll right there.

We negotiated that. We traveled up and down Route 28, past the drive-up Salt Water Taffy four times, watched Old Cape Cod stand firmly at Dunkin’ Donuts, mini-golf, and motels, and marked time in gasoline while waiting for the Registry to turn itself over.

When the time came, the youngest of my name had an up-to-date registration, his application, the money, and a mask. What he didn’t have was the right car. It not only had to be street legal, it had to have an emergency brake where the examiner could get at it. The trooper smiled and handed all of the paper back.

At times like these, you may curse the Gods. They aren’t listening anyway, continued on page 22

Mystique of the Feminine in Art

This Saturday, July 23, from 6 to 8 pm, celebrate the female form at the new exhibit in Hostetler Gallery at 42 Centre Street entitled Feminine Mystique. Featuring paintings by Donna Isham, photography by Alyssa Fortin, and David Hostetler’s sculptures of the female form, the event promises to inspire discussion and appreciation.

Donna Isham’s canvases are bold and honest, figurative and abstract. Seeing the female from from a woman’s point of view is evocative and emotional. As she stated in a recent interview: “I have always found that the female form is beautiful and a display of natural perfection...my work combines the concept of deconstruction both figuratively and emotionally and reconstruction in time where viewpoints of beauty...where evaluations of perfection have taken a new turn.”

Known for her portraits and her travel shots, photographer Alyssa Fortin’s fine art photography is also stunning. For this Feminine Mystique show at Hostetler Gallery, her images celebrate the female form defying gravity in photographs of ballet dancers submerged. Fortin’s subjects exude strength; her images flowing and filled with light.

Internationally known and collected for his exquisite sculture, David Hostetler, who passed in 2015, once said “Woman to me is the ideal form, erotic yet pure, compositionary variable, yet identical every time.” His wife and muse Susan Hostetler, who runs the gallery, said of the three artists’ work included in Feminine Mystique “we all play well together...it’s all about the female form.”

In addition to this new exhibition, art from the show Influence, which opened last week in the Hostetler Gallery, will continue to grace the walls through the summer season. This show is an innovative collaboration between Susan Hostetler and New York Gallerist Debbie Dickinson, and includes fantastical abstracts of nature with brilliant color by Kristy Gordon, stunning paintings by internationally known polymath American artist Curtis Wallin, and serene and luminous work by Bryan LeBoeuf, who is widely collected.

Susan Hostetler encourages all to visit and view the art: “The more you see, the more you develop your own curated eye,” she commented. “Art can bring beauty and happiness... it can test you. You will find what fits.”

Hostetler Gallery is open daily at 42 Centre Street Nantucket and online at HostetlerGallery.com and @hostetler_gallery

Task Force Looking Out for Avian Flu On-Island

Each day a member m of our team will present a behind-the-scene es peek into life at the museum m and a chance to interact with special arrtifacts

The latest avian flu has been detected on Nantucket and is now spreading to multiple species of wild birds. A local task force is keeping tabs on the situation and new local research is hoping to shed light on the situation.

Since December 2021, an outbreak of Eurasian strain Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus has fatally affected many bird species in North America, especially farm-raised birds and wild waterfowl. A similar HPAI strain was previously identified in Europe and Asia beginning in 2019, which resulted in rapid spread and massive mortality among these types of species. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, unlike the virus in Europe, the HPAI virus detected in North America has not only affected domestic poultry farms, but has been confirmed in many migrating shorebirds and waterfowl, as well as in birds of prey that likely consumed HPAI-infected birds. But the list of affected bird species is still evolving as more research and testing is being administered. HPAI, however, does not affect all types of birds equally. The “highly pathogenic” part of the term HPAI refers specifically to the severity of the disease in poultry, not necessarily in other bird species.

The last case of HPAI in North American wild birds occurred in 2015. That outbreak resulted in the deaths of more than 50 million domestic birds in 15 states and accounted for 98 detections in infected wild birds—a number that pales in comparison to this year’s confirmed cases.

This type of avian flu is considered a low risk to people, according to the U.S. CDC. However, it could be trouble for both domestic and wild bird populations.

The virus, which can cause severe neurological and respiratory issues in avians, was likely transmitted to North America through migratory bird routes that overlap with regions of Europe.

In Massachusetts, HPAI was first detected in February when two Canada continued on page 18

Swim for a Cause

The annual swim to raise money for the Nantucket Cottage Hospital Oncology Department and the Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket (“PASCON”) is back on Jetties Beach this Saturday, July 23, 2022 at 8 am. Swim Across America – Nantucket is celebrating its tenth year on the island this year. During the ten years this event has been held here, it has raised more than $3.5 million to support on-island cancer and palliative care. Over two hundred swimmers will swim their hearts out with a goal to raise $500,000 for 2022, and more than one hundred volunteers also support the swim in a moving community celebration of life.

The Swim has made it possible to offer comprehensive cancer care on-island and to continue the tradition of providing free palliative and supportive care to island residents and summer residents who need care. Specialists from Mass General Brigham regularly visit, saving patients from making a difficult trip to Boston for care. The Swim Across America oncology suite at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital is a beautiful setting to receive the cancer care services funded by the proceeds of this swim. Registration is available online to either donate, swim, or volunteer at www.swimacrossamerica.org/Nantucket.

took in college,” she recalls, “farming aquatic species for stock enhancement, sustainability, and an additional protein source just made sense to me.”

She grew up down south in the suburbs of Atlanta and has always felt a pull to more spread out coastal communities. She stumbled upon an ad posted by the Town of Nantucket for a biologist position, and she jumped on it. “The day that I interviewed was my first time visiting Nantucket and I instantly fell in love with the ‘boathouse’ on Brant Point, and the idea of creating a municipal hatchery to help with the bay scallop fishery and other natural resource initiatives for Nantucket.

Luckily, the town agreed that I was a good fit for the position. Two months later, I was selling my house and moving up to Nantucket.”

All the conditions in the building are made to mimic spring conditions on-island.

From the air temperature to the water, even timed lights set to be on for 16 hours a day. These are the ideal conditions for encouraging the spawning and growth of shellfish. The Hatchery even grows their own algae.

“The biggest part about operating a hatchery is growing enough food, because they eat a lot.” Tara helps grow several different species of algae, each with their own unique nutritional benefit to the burgeoning bivalves. “Every species has a different nutritional profile,” she explained, “some are higher in starches and lipids; some are more rich in vitamins.”

Brant Point is an ideal location for a hatchery. When the tide comes in, fresh, clean water is pumped into the boathouse to keep the shellfish clean, healthy, and happy. After growing and going through a series of tanks, the shellfish are released into the harbor.

Once the shellfish are set free, the hatchery team takes care to monitor their development. They make use of many techniques. One method is utilizing spat lines.

“These bags contain a material that larval scallops will attach to in their 12-14th day of life,” explained Tara, “they help us to determine when the natural spawns in the harbor are occurring and which area any given spawn may have recruited.”

The hatchery staff also performs routine dive surveys. According to Tara, “These allow us to zero-in on scallop populations (they can swim and shift around based on wind and current patterns). Once we have located the populations, we are able to continued on page 15

map the area and create an evaluation plan that involves an underwater survey of collecting data on scallop abundance and classification, habitat characteristics, and water quality.” The hatchery is currently keep an eye on a 2021 release of larvae in Madaket Harbor. “We are monitoring the size, health, predation, density, and overall survival during the summer months.”

The hatchery also relies on local scallopers, fisherman, and other community members. “They help to notify us if there is a seed population that we missed, whether it is in the harbor or stranded on the beach or shallows,” said Tara. “During the winter, the Nantucket Shellfish Association coordinated several fishermen to thin out the seed bed in Madaket to help with growth and survival. They were able to move over 1000 bushels, which was so amazing!”

Tara and her team have been working towards and improving monitoring and stock enhancement techniques since 2010. “The fishery overall has been in decline since its peak in the mid 80s. In the past 10 years, we have harvested a high of 20,000 bushels and a low of 3,500 bushels.” Their efforts, combined with local and state laws applying less pressure on the stock, is starting to help. “Fishermen just aren’t as actively engaged in the fishery on a regular basis due to the unpredictable harvests each season.”

The biggest hurdle is the quality of the water in our harbor. “Water quality pressures triggered by rapid growth and development are the ultimate roadblock for our fishery and the eelgrass rebounding. Without the water quality at a certain level, our waters cannot sustain restoration efforts successfully.

“We are working harder than ever to understand each new challenge that our natural resources are presented with. It is a big job with many variables and different opinions. Overall, our department remains optimistic that although progress can seem slow, we are working towards positive changes that will ultimately improve our water quality and in tandem allow the scallops and eelgrass to be restored.”

With a venture of this magnitude, patience is a must. “It will likely take 5 to 10 years to see any noticeable change,” commented Tara.

We can’t wait to see what the future hold for the harbor. For more information on Nantucket’s Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery and to schedule a tour, go to nantucket-ma.gov/691/Brant-Point-Shellfish-Hatchery.

in-cheek humor. Some lyrical adaptation to the music by Queen is done to fit Ben Elton’s story. Superb live music by Issac Foley on guitar, Christopher Fusco on drums, and Music Director Aidan Wells at the keyboard from their visible elevated stage makes this a cross between a rock concert and a musical. It’s hard to resist standing in the aisles and singing along until near the end, when this audience participation is encouraged.

The plot is deliberately light and fun, a mere backdrop. But you’re really here for the music in this TWN production, and the performances and singing of the cast of twenty is excellent.

The vocals of Galileo Figaro (Sean William Fleming), the jittery protagonist with a music tik, and the sassy Scaramouche (Emily Gardenhire) stand out with concert-level quality in solos, with I Want to Break Free and Somebody to Love, duets, and the many ensembles they lead. Rebels Britney & Oz (Alex Deleo and Emily Behny) belt out I Want It All with impressive range and intensity. Behny as Oz singing No One But You sends tingles through the audience. And all four performers are fantastic in Headlong. Colleen O’Brien does a good job as the evil computer-generated-come-to-life villain Killer Queen, and we love Zach Greer who gives a strong performance as Killer Queen’s crony Commander Khashoggi: we’d like to hear more vocals from him. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t comment on Scott Corry’s terrific comedic timing as Buddy.

Justin Cerne’s talented direction keeps the audience interested in the story of We Will Rock You as theatre and not just a concert, guiding his cast with exits and entrances through aisles and energetic action across the stage. Creative and colorful costume design by Casey Boukus helps differentiate and identify the characters, and the choreography by Jennifer Hemphill helps express the story.

Get your tickets today to We Will Rock You and relive or experience for the first time (as did my 10-year-old companion) the excitement and passion of the music of Queen.

geese tested positive. Typically, a threat to mainly domestic poultry, the virus has since infected and killed an unprecedented number of wild birds, worrying experts. HPAI has now been detected in both domestic and wild birds from Canada to Florida for the past several months. If you’re interested in how the disease has spread, the HPAI distribution map is being updated weekly or as frequently as documented changes in distribution are available.

Nantucket had been keeping a close watch on cases and where they were located. This winter, a mute swan from Nantucket tested positive—the first confirmed case on-island. Since then, multiple species here have been found to be positive for HPAI. To keep track of the virus on Nantucket, a HPAI Task Force was created in February: members include regulatory agencies, town officials, conservation and research groups, as well as animal welfare organizations. The purpose of the group is to track and respond as necessary to the infection on-island.

Initially, the primary species affected were waterfowl, domestic fowl, and some shorebirds. The list of affected species keeps growing as the spread of infection evolves. Corvids and blackbirds are now infected.

At the end of June, hundreds of dead birds washed up on the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard and some on Nantucket. This story made national news, but the birds were originally identified as cormorants were actually shearwaters.

Some of the birds were collected and sent to Tufts for testing. Tests have not yet confirmed HPAI, but MV town official released warning to that island and are presuming it is part of the outbreak. Others think it was possibly food shortage that caused the mass die-off.

On Nantucket, primarily only dead birds had been tested for the virus. We’ve had American crows, a mute swan, greater black-backed gulls, and other waterfowl all test positive. At the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, we sent off an adult osprey that was found dead on the property in April. This osprey was also banded, so we had a bit more info. The osprey was positive for HPAI. It had been banded

by Dr. Bob Kennedy in 2008 as a chick.

For infected birds of prey like red-tailed hawks, great horned owls, cooper's hawks, and peregrine falcons, it is believed they became infected by their prey – most likely other avian species who had HPAI. The osprey was unusual in that continued on page 24

hours of gas, twenty-two parallel parking attempts and a half-inch of stomach lining all disappeared in a bureaucratic flip of the wrist. Someone deserves a talking to.

So, in the air-conditioned sealed car, you can blame the gods. If you feel you have to blame somebody, you might as well let the elephant on the flaming altar have it. Of all of the stupid inventions we have made as a species, “blame” is right up there with the plastic straws, Tang, and lawyers. When you blame someone or something, you are only trying to keep your party dress lily white. Maybe you can get some good guilt presents out of it, but assigning blame only pushes reality away for a moment. Sure, the Registry should have written this rule in some obvious place. Sure, they should let you take the test on Nantucket where you would’t have to spend all of this money to travel back and forth. (And sure, Dad should have checked the website as well. That’s in the job descriptions for Dad: you can always blame him.)

After a minute or two in guttural Anglo Saxon, blame becomes useless. It doesn’t change the facts on the ground. No penance can be expected. No repayment. No redress. The world has dealt you a Loss that you deserved. You can’t fall on the floor with the gnashing of teeth and the rending of garments. It would be unseemly, you would scare the farm animals, and the Troopers would escort you out the door. Plan A has died. As it always does.

July 21-27, 2022

Plan A always dies early; it goes egg-shaped before it rolls off and coughs one last time. Plan A assumes that Ganesh is smiling on you, the wind and tide is at your rear, and you remain an impeccable judge of character and tactics. When Plan A gives up the ghost, the rest of your assumptions rise and disburse in the Route 28 traffic. Ganesh was watching football, the wind swung round, and you made the same mistakes you always make. If you stay in that parking space, waiting for the great karmic gods to smite your enemies and put you to right, you will be stationary and screaming until the lights go out.

You have to go to Plan B. Plan B is a retreat, reformation, and a return. Plan B is a compromise and an accommodation. Plan B is wisdom, colored like a bruise. You acknowledge the punch in the face, take a step back, and make a new plan. In this case, it meant going to Nantucket for the driving test where they actually do have a Driver’s Exam. (Hint: it’s on Fridays) Plan B requires two key acknowledgements. First, that the failure of Plan A was not the end of the world.

The sun will rise, donuts will be made, and Old South Road will be choked with cars again tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day. Second, you have to acknowledge that you weren’t all that. You learned that you aren’t as good as you appear in the mirror, and stupidity follows you like a shadow. I have learned, through sad wisdom, to plan for stupid. I will lose my keys, or my phone, or my wallet, so I need to plan for that to happen. I haven’t gotten smarter,just more used to getting punched in the nose.

Hopefully, Plan B will come to fruition with a warm smile and a handshake shortly. The journey has been long, painful, and, perhaps, enriching.

If it doesn’t, there is always Plan C.

G Gas prices getting you do d wn? Tired of sitting in traffic?

Save the date of Tuesday, August 2, when you can stop by Serenella Nantucket to meet Cynthia Vilchez, founder of Aliita, and shop a curated selection of jewelry. Aliita means “important object” in Wayuu, the native language of Guajiros, located in Zulia, Venezuela—the state where founder Cynthia Vilchez Castiglioni grew up. The jewelry label is now based in Milan and uses quotidian elements like houses, snorkels, letters, and buckets transformed into pure lines with a touch of natural stones, including diamond, emerald, sapphire, and ruby. A percentage of the proceeds that day will be donated to NAMI Cape Cod & The Islands.

Serenella Nantucket has a sister shop in the heart of downtown: Serenella 44 at 44 Centre Street. A special collaboration with Giambattista Valli Beach Club Collection, Leslee Shupe’s second Serenella shop on

Nantucket has a more casually elegant vibe. Giambattista Valli is known for couture and red carpet dressing, but Serenella 44 shows his designs that can go from beach to town with ease: swimsuits, dresses, and an exclusive Nantucket shopping bag that Giambattista designed for Leslee.

With more than 40 designers represented in Leslee’s two Serenella shops on Nantucket Island, men and women can dress with exceptional and sophisticated style.

osprey eat fish almost exclusively. Leading to more questions about transmission.

This particular strain of HPAI appears to be more infectious and deadly to wild birds than previous versions, but gauging the pathogen's true impact on wild populations is more difficult than with domestic poultry which are observed and documented every day. Much of the testing is being done one dead bird at a time without knowing how many others are carriers of the disease.

In order to help assess the extent of infection on Nantucket, the Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF) is undertaking a new study looking at passerine and other songbirds. As outbreaks of HPAI have been blamed for large scale mortality events among wild birds, LLNF hopes to identify any potential warning signs of detrimental outbreaks among these species by surveilling the resident and migratory songbirds of Nantucket focusing on feeder birds.

The virus is challenging to detect with certainty. Some birds may exhibit observable signs such as neurologic abnormalities, nasal discharge, coughing, sneezing, swelling, or discoloration of un-feathered body parts, but many that have contracted the virus are completely asymptomatic. This is why most detections are from already-dead birds that were sampled.

An efficient way to investigate the presence of an HPAI infection is by collecting fecal samples to be tested in a lab. Studies have shown the HPAI virus is shed abundantly in bird feces. Sampling the fresh bird feces will allow us, at LLNF, to investigate HPAI prevalence in feeder birds – helping answer an important conservation question. We’ll also be sampling material from a bird bath to help answer questions about what to do with your feeders and bird baths. Are they vectors for disease? We’ve teamed up with Dr. Wendy Puryear of Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and Dr. Nichola Hill of UMASS Boston who will be processing the samples and advising on collection methods.

Both researchers have already been working locally with the UMASS Boston Field Station and Offshore Animal Hospital on the detection of HPAI in dead birds. Preliminary data from USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reports detections of HPAI in multiple songbird species, including several Corvid species, a common grackle, and an American robin, as well as a potential outbreak continued on page 25

event among swallows. This study will be a first step in seeing if HPAI is detectable in our Nantucket songbirds.

The Department of Fish and Game’s (DFG) Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR), and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) are advising the public to refrain from touching or removing birds from coastal areas that appear sick, injured, or deceased.

If you see a bird in distress or a dead bird, don’t touch it and keep dogs away from carcasses. It has been determined the virus can stay within the carcasses for 3-5 days. MassWildlife State Ornithologist Andrew Vitz states, “We are asking for the public’s help in reporting observations of sick shorebirds along the coastline.

Prompt reporting will expedite testing and diagnosis in cooperation with our state and federal partners who have been monitoring HPAI for several years.”

Locally, if you have a dead or visibly sick bird, call Offshore Animal Hospital which will direct the call to the proper responders. You can also call our Environmental Officer who is part of the Nantucket HPAI task force. MassWildlife also has a new site for reporting dead WILD birds at mass.gov/forms/report-observations-of-dead-wild-birds. They are particularly interested in sick and dead seabirds washing up along coastal areas.

If you have poultry, even a backyard farm, these birds are potentially at risk, since we know how quickly the virus spreads among flocks. Prevention is the best protection against the HPAI virus. Keep wild waterbirds away from your flock.

Visit the MDAR’s Poultry Page for updates and biosecurity resources available in multiple languages: mass.gov/service-details/poultry-program.

For the most up-to-date information, follow social media of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, the UMASS Boston Nantucket Field Station, and other conservation groups as we all work together to help spread more information about HPAI on Nantucket.
