"Then Why Do They Call It the 'Sandwich Hatchery?'"

January 8, 2009 By: Marshall Cutchin

That’s the question a female harbor seal might have asked herself after she was booted out of Cape Cod’s Sandwich trout hatchery after gorging on “untold numbers of four-pound trout.” “No one is quite sure exactly how the seal ended up at the state fish hatchery. She had to travel about two miles from the area of the Sandwich Boardwalk on Cape Cod Bay, follow a creek that passes under a mini-golf course and Route 6A and runs through a wooded area skirting the fish hatchery, before somehow making her way to the hatchery lagoons.” Karen Jeffrey in the Cape Cod Times.
