Island Ad-Vantages - May 16, 2024

In this issue

The Deer Isle-Stonington High School Honor Parts and photos are front and center this week. Birds are also featured, as this weekend's annual Wings, Waves and Woods events highlight the birds we see and experience on our island. And, we have a story on how a potential gauge change in the way lobster carapace length is measured can affect every lobsterman and dealer on the coast of Maine. A photo shows the current length.
