Who doesn't love a good lobster roll when they're relaxing on Cape Cod? Unfortunately, we know that some fishing practices can have dire implications on the health of our oceans. We dug into some of the ways the seafood industry can harm the ocean, and more importantly, what we can all do about it.

Manta rays are fascinating creatures, but they’re often mixed up with the stingray. They're closely related and look similar are first glance, but there are actually big differences separating the two.

Fall is one of our favorite times of year on the Cape. 🍂 You no longer need a beach sticker, dogs are welcome on the beach again, and it's Oysterfest season! 🙌 Oysterfest...

It’s estimated that there are only 411 North Atlantic right whales left in the world. They were hunted to the brink of extinction, and despite being a protected species since the 1970s,...

Did you know that there are 440 different species of sharks in our oceans? These animals range from the mighty great white shark down to the strange and tiny dwarf lantern shark. But, sharks are misunderstood. Many see them as bloodthirsty man-eaters, which is a myth that has been busted time and again. Here are four reasons why sharks are our friends, not foes.

Monday kicks off the start of Climate Week NYC, and just yesterday, individuals from around the world walked out of their jobs and classrooms to demand action on climate change for the first day of eight days of strikes. It’s easy to focus on the terrestrial impacts of climate change, like extreme weather, but life beneath the waves is already starting to feel the effects of a changing climate.

It doesn't take long to understand how our addiction to plastic started - it's a lightweight, versatile, and inexpensive alternative to materials of the past, but it has a dark side, too; plastic is having a damaging impact on our environment, especially the ocean. That's why we should bring a reusable bag with us whenever we go shopping, instead of using a single-use plastic bag.

Technology is one of the major keys to safely sharing the shore with Cape Cod’s great white sharks, especially when it comes to be able to track the sharks in real time. To help keep the beaches safe and further great white shark research, we’re excited to announce that Cape Clasp is now the official sponsor of the Sharktivity app!

One million plastic bottles are sold across the globe every single minute. And, that number is expected to climb. Considering that recycling plastic rates are less than stellar (only about...

By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Organizations like our partner, the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, are tackling ocean plastic with innovative campaigns that focus on empowering individuals to take action. The Center recently launched the 6-Pact for the Ocean campaign with Provincetown designer Tim Covenry of TIM-SCAPES.

After the success of our first ring, the Great White Shark Ring, we knew we wanted to add to the line and choosing a whale for our second design made perfect sense. We have always loved the gentle, majestic nature of the whale, and with so many species like the North Atlantic right whale facing an uncertain future, protecting them has become one of our top priorities.
