Crocker Snow, Jr., an award-winning foreign correspondent, and Harvard College alum is co-owner of Muskeget, a 250-acre island halfway between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. He has been watching its environmental changes since he was a boy and chronicled this in a popular book, Muskeget: Raw, Restless, Relentless Island.

Muskeget is designated by the Department of Interior as a "National Natural Landmark". Most noted as the epicenter of grey seals that grow to 800 pounds and whose growth increase has attracted vast numbers of great white sharks to Cape Cod waters.
