Island Ad-Vantages - May 2, 2024

In this issue

We are surrounded by water. What happens on or in that water affects every aspect of our island. This week, two stories highlight that relationship. In one, residents gather to learn about the Maine Department of Transportation's proposals for fixing the storm and high tide runovers on the Deer Isle Causeway. In the other, a Talk of the Towns event features local aquaculturists and others in the field discussing the future of sea farming. And, back on land, students from Sue’s School of Dance win top marks at a regional competition.
