CommonWealth Magazine Plum Island Article

July 8, 2015 by Chris Hein

An excellent story by Gabrielle Gurley was posted yesterday in the CommonWealth Magazine covering the interactions of geology, policy, and politics on Plum Island. I (Chris) spoke at some length with Gabrielle while she was writing this, and passed along some of the insights we have gained from our now two-year-old study of Plum Island.
