One week from today, WHOI Sea Grant Sr. Communications Specialist Stephanie Murphy will talk about ways her organization is reducing the impacts of plastics in our ocean and on our shoreline.

One of those ways is its boat shrink wrap recycling program.

Last year, Emmy award-winning filmmaker, journalist, and PBS host Miles O’Brien spoke at our Annual Meeting where he talked about his work covering the environment, science, and tech and shared his passion for storytelling.

Last month, his new series, Resolve to Solve, premiered on PBS. You can watch the episodes at https://www.pbs.org/show/resolve-to-solve/

We're excited to see Miles — who happens to be one of our members and a Cape resident — using his talents to tell stories about tech that educate, that inspire, and that move the needle when it comes to important issues facing our world.

"Most of the trash found in our local waters and coastline is plastic, in some form or another. Because our oceans are connected and marine pollution can originate anywhere, it's a global problem as well as a local problem," WHOI Sea Grant Sr. Communications Specialist Stephanie Murphy shared with us.

Next Friday, September 11th, we're excited to have Stephanie join us as she talks about the problem of plastics impacting our waters and our coastline.

She'll also talk about what WHOI Sea Grant is doing to address the problem — and ways each of us can be a part of the solution.

In March, we welcomed Cape Cod Commission Deputy Director Steven Tupper to the Tech Council to talk to us about the replacement of the Sagamore and Bourne Bridges, and the tech being used as part of the construction projects.

Tomorrow, Senator Dylan Fernandes will provide an update on the MassDOT bridge replacements at Mashpee Town Hall.

It’s critical that community members have a voice in the largest transportation project in our region since the Bourne & Sagamore bridges were built. I hope you’ll join us this Thursday at Mashpee Town Hall to hear the latest updates on the Cape Bridges Program from MassDOT and get your questions answered.

A big congrats to Tech Council Member Jennifer Maclachlan for being recognized for her volunteer service to the Cape Cod & Islands Council, Scouting America with the Oscar Award which recognizes adult volunteers for outstanding service to youth.

She has dedicated nearly 15 years to giving back to the organization, lending her time, talents, and expertise to educating and inspiring the next generation about the importance of science, engineering, and technology in our lives and our world. She also has worked tirelessly to connect local families to scouting.

We're always excited to see our members being recognized for the work they're doing to make our community a better place, especially for children.

An interesting look at how electric vehicle (EV) use has grown this decade on Cape Cod, and the work being undertaken by the Cape Cod Commission to support towns in their efforts to embrace the technology.

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) registered in Barnstable County has increased significantly since 2020. In 2026, Cape Cod has more than six times as many registered EVs as it did in 2020.

The Cape Cod Commission is engaged in a variety of efforts to help support EV adoption and EV infrastructure across the region. Commission staff is working with the towns of Falmouth, Chatham, Brewster, Orleans, and Truro to earn their Charging Smart designation, and a program that will place shareable electric vehicles and charging stations at a number of affordable housing developments across the region is anticipated to launch later this summer.
