The Common Flat Project is a joint effort between nature photographers Pam and John King to bring attention to the wonder of Earth’ s biodiversity, especially on Cape Cod.

Through their photographic images they hope to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity and the preservation of species and promote conservation.

We cannot appreciate and protect what we do not know 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 and is today part of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. Remarkably, human beings have played a positive role in this eco-system 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 designated “wilderness”.
