about
The Common Flat is a special tidal area that has existed for thousands of years off of the “elbow” of Cape Cod. This area is a crucial habitat for diverse species – including marine mammals, migrating birds, shellfish, crustaceans and fin fish.
Today, this sand bar is part of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. Remarkably, human beings have played a positive role in this ecosystem through the millennia, by harvesting fish and shellfish with traditional methods. We all share a common interest in the Common Flat’s continued well-being as a vibrant natural habitat.
In recent years John and Pam King have been pursuing a lifelong passion to experience and record the earth’s wild places and wild things through their photography. They co-founded The Common Flat Project in 2011 to foster a message of conservation and raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity on our planet especially on Cape Cod. The Kings' first book, "Wild Cape Cod: Free by Nature,” was published in 2012.
John and Pam have two grown children, four wonderful grandchildren, and call Chatham, Massachusetts home when they are not traveling the world.
