<\/p>\nToday I made it to the Project Puffin base in Bremen, Maine. \u00a0I’ll spend the night here and tomorrow I the boat for the island leaves early in the morning. \u00a0I had to pass through the states of Connecticut,\u00a0Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. \u00a0After I arrived, we spent part of the afternoon packing food into huge rubber dry-bags. \u00a0The staff had just returned from a shopping trip and all the food now must be transported to the islands in<\/p>\n

small boats, so the dry-bags are a must. \u00a0Tomorrow I go by ferry to and island near Mantinicus. \u00a0I meet a smaller private boat there that will take me the rest of the way out to the island. \u00a0I had dinner with some of the staff in a bird\u00a0sanctuary\u00a0on an island just across the bay from where I am staying. \u00a0Here is the view.<\/p>\n
I asked the some of the scientists about puffins and climate change. \u00a0“Puffin” Pete Salmansohn told me that Puffins tend to nest high above the water, so they are a little more protected from rising seas than birds that ne Some of you asked how many puffins there are in the world. \u00a0Puffin Pete told me that there are twelve to fifteen million puffins in the world today. \u00a0They are not endangered at alldisney inflatables wholesale<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today I made it to the Project Puffin base in Bremen, Maine. \u00a0I’ll spend the night here and tomorrow I the boat for the island leaves early in the morning. \u00a0I had to pass through the states of Connecticut,\u00a0Massachusetts, New … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/puffin.jacobtanenbaum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_9503.jpg\" "\\"IMG_9503\\"")
