Some days the sea just calls. I rise early, drive to the beach, and watch the sunrise. Similarly at day's end, I skirt the waves as they caress the sand. I believe the senses are heightened along the shoreline. Summertime is for fireworks, fairs, flowers, farmstands, friends, family, and food (cookouts/picnics). In this summer edition of She Shines, the natural world is up close. And the recreational and economical demands upon our environment seem to require a delicate balance. Save the Bay's educators spoke of these issues as "tradeoffs". Many occupations relate to the sea. Inside you will find a marine biology professor, marine ecologist, captain, aquarist, seafood restaurant proprietor, and other surprising connections. Enjoy this vacation time of year. Myself, I look forward to fishing with my dad. It is exciting seeing the ocean boil with a school of fish. Take care,
