Some kinds of algae contain toxic chemicals that are deadly to marine life. When carcasses of more than a dozen whales washed up on Cape Cod last fall, their deaths were attributed to paralytic shellfish poisoning that probably passed up the food chain through tainted mackerel consumed by the whales. Carpets of algae can turn square miles of water red, brown or yellow. Some scientists speculate that the account in Exodus 7: 20 of the Nile's indefinitely turning red may refer to a red tide...

They have gone with the wind." The situation . is not expected to improve over last year, when a privately funded study of Cape Cod, Mass., companies reported a shortage of 14,000 chambermaids, short- order cooks, waiters, clerks and other entry-level workers in that area.

The silken black cod also known as sablefish is especially enticing in the pomegranate sauce that glosses it at Le Tastevin. Then there is geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck), a giant clam that can be sauteed with the robust Mediterranean seasonings that befit what might be described as clam-flavored squid...
