WCAI's Local News Roundup: Power Plant Expansion in Sandwich; Shark Rescue in Chatham

EPA.gov
The power plant in Sandwich, along the Cape Cod Canal, may be expanded with a new generator and a solar panel installment.

WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts the Friday News Roundup on WCAI, talking to local journalists about some of the week's top news.  Guests include Anne Brennan from the Cape Cod Times; Tim Wood at the Cape Cod Chronicle; Josh Balling from the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror; Andy Tomolonis from the New Bedford Standard Times; and Nelson Sigelman from the Martha's Vineyard Times.

Among the stories they discuss this week: beachgoers and marine biologists alike work to save beached white shark; the power plant along the Cape Cod Canal is looking to expand its operations; a relatively new type of oyster is being caught in Wellfleet waters; ocean rower Sarah Outen is still trying to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, despite mechanical problems; our latest harsh winter decimated honey bee populations; and Provincetown finally has a new town manager.
