Yes to all three assuming that you think hydroelectric power, MA drinking and recreation are good things.

Don't know, I haven't seen them yet this year.

OK. My boating tour today disclosed a satin black (scratch dull) "bathtub-ring" for miles and miles, including Rattlesnake Island. I was looking for a scientific explanation. (My "working theory" is petroleum-based deposits. I know...DUH)

Don't know again but I'll guess it's some marine growth. Not only is it a ring but it's also on the top of my steps that lead into the water. More specifically it's only on those parts that get a semi-regular splashing. It isn't on my dock or other wood parts, at least that I've noticed. It's slippery when wet but not after it dries out. It doesn't wash off with soap and scouring. It does (well it did last year) power-wash off with just H2O and pressure though. If I had a microscope I'd take a scraping and have a look-see.
