Salem Sound Coastwatch begins its "Underwater in Salem Sound" series on Wednesday with Dr. Lindley Hanson speaking about the Geologic History and Evolution of Salem Sound at Abbot Library in Marblehead at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

4. Taxes: Wednesday is the first day that the Internal Revenue Service will accept individual federal tax returns, according to Vesey and Weeks in its latest blog post on Danvers Patch. It was delayed this year after some tax law changes went into effect on Jan. 2. Taxpayers that require more extensive forms such as residential energy credits, depreciation and amortization and general business credits will be able to file in late February or early March.
