A Legacy of Explosives
Nomans Land, a small island off the coast of Massachusetts, was used as a U.S. Navy bombing range from 1943 to 1996. Despite cleanup efforts, unexploded ordnance (UXO) still covers the island, making it unsafe for public access.
An Explosive Debate
While some see leaving the island to nature as ideal, others push for cleanup to address safety and environmental risks. With UXO still lurking, the question of how to manage Nomans Land remains unresolved.
