☆ Watery, Peaceful, Wild: The Call of the Mangroves
  + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Elisabeth Goodridge | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
It was a sunny afternoon in February at the height of the high season on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, but my partner, Aaren, and I were far from lounging on a white-sand beach, snorkeling over a coral reef or strolling among the Easter-egg-colored buildings of Willemstad, Curaçao’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site — typical activities for travelers to this former Dutch colony. Instead, on a kayak tour with Serlon St Jago, a guide from the Curaçao Rif Mangrove Park, we were learning about the country’s mangrove restoration, and the vital role mangrove habitats play in coastal resilience, protection for marine and bird species, and fighting the effects of climate change.

☆ What To Do in New Bedford, the Old Whaling Capital Outside Boston

A complex pastThe collapse of the whale population at the end of the 19th century came as enormous textile mills were being built, transforming the cityscape. But as manufacturing in the South and overseas gained prominence in the mid-20th century, these factories closed and New Bedford languished. And that’s why reimagining these buildings is the future.”I spent the next morning walking around one reimagined mill in the city’s South End neighborhood. On one block alone, I discovered a toy store, a used record store and a witch shop called ​​Sanctum Folklorica. The highlight of the day was the Whaling Museum (adults, $18), dedicated to the brutal industry that transformed New Bedford and the world.
