Abstract
"All Creatures Great and Mostly Small” is the theme of the Spring-Summer 2022 issue of Wrack Lines magazine, filled with stunning images and engaging articles about some of the marine and terrestrial animals around us and the people who devote their attention to them.
Articles explore the many creatures and artifacts found by divers around Plum Island and elsewhere in Long Island Sound; the fascinating life and work of bird painter Rex Brasher; and research into how a species of copepod will respond to climate change conditions in the marine environment. Another story calls us to appreciate some of the beneficial but lesser-known insects in our gardens. A final piece looks at the thriving oyster community in Ash Creek in Fairfield and the volunteers and scientists working to further enhance these beds and others throughout Connecticut.
