  • Massachusetts Commercial Fishing Port Profiles
    MASSACHUSETTS COMMERCIAL FISHING PORT PROFILES The Massachusetts Commercial Fishing Port Profiles were developed through a collaboration between the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the University of Massachusetts Boston’s Urban Harbors Institute, and the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance. Using data from commercial regional permits, the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program’s (ACCSP) Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) Dealer Database, and harbormaster and fishermen surveys, these profiles provide an overview of the commercial fishing activity and infrastructure within each municipality. The Port Profiles are part of a larger report which describes the status of the Commonwealth’s commercial fishing and port infrastructure, as well as how profile data can inform policy, programming, funding, infrastructure improvements, and other important industry- related decisions. For the full report, visit the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries website. Key Terms: Permitted Harvesters: Commercially permitted harvesters residing in the municipality Vessels: Commercially permitted vessels with the municipality listed as the homeport Trips: Discrete commercial trips unloading fish or shellfish in this municipality Active Permitted Harvesters: Commercially permitted harvesters with at least one reported trans- action in a given year Active Dealers: Permitted dealers with at least one reported purchase from a harvester in a given year Ex-Vessel Value: Total amount ($) paid directly to permitted harvesters by dealers at the first point of sale file Port Port SCITUATE Pro Located on the South Shore, Scituate has three harbors: Scituate, North River, and South River- Humarock. Permitted commercial fisheries, which may or may not be active during the survey period, include: Lobster Pot, Dragger, Gillnetter, Clam Dredge, Scallop Dredge, Rod & Reel, For Hire/ Charter.

    COMPARING POLICIES FOR ENCOURAGING RETREAT FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST Michael Graikoski and Porter Hoagland1 I. Introduction Along the US Atlantic coast, the lands and infrastructure located on barrier islands and beaches and in backbay estuarine environments face mounting threats from king tides, storm surges, and sea-level rise.2 From the late 19th century to the present, sea-level rise on the United States’ Atlantic coast has been more rapid than any other century-scale increase over the last 2000 years.3 Even slight increases in sea-level rise now have been hypothesized to significantly increase the risks of coastal flooding in many places.4 In New England, some of the most severe northeast storms (“nor’easters”) have become notorious for consequent extreme losses of coastal properties.

  • A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
    C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

    Town of Falmouth Plan for an Improved Transportation Network for Bicycling January 6, 2016 Town of Falmouth: 2015 Bike Plan Prepared by the Cape Cod Commission in cooperation with the Town of Falmouth and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation This report was funded in part through grants from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The views and opinions of the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of the USDOT. The Falmouth Bikeways Committee, consisting of citizen volunteers widely experienced in bicycling, transportation, and educational issues, contributed immeasurably to this Plan. They are Scott Lindell (Chair), Ed Gross (Vice-Chair), Ted Rowan (Treasurer), Jonathan Murray (Secretary), Bob Fitzpatrick, Kevin Lynch, Pamela Rothstein, JoAnn Fishbein, and Chris McGuire. We also had help from members of the Falmouth Bike Lab (Jeremy Tagliaferre and Anne Broache) and Friends of Falmouth Bikeways (Patty Leonard). The Bikeways Committee thanks Lev Malakhoff and Glenn Cannon for their valuable assistance. More information is available at [email protected] Executive Summary The 2015 Falmouth Bike Plan is a result of collaboration between the Town of Falmouth’s Bikeways Committee and the transportation staff of the Cape Cod Commission. Between 2010 and 2012 there were 43 reported crashes involving bicycles in Falmouth. It is widely accepted that many more occur but are unreported. This fact serves as one catalyst for action. The Plan identifies numerous problems on roads that would be desirable for bicycling if corrective actions such as reducing motorist speed and installing wider shoulders or bike lanes were implemented to encourage people who want to ride bicycles to feel safe.

  • Summary of 2020 Massachusetts Piping Plover Census Data
    SUMMARY OF THE 2020 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS Bill Byrne, MassWildlife Prepared by: Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife March 2021 SUMMARY OF THE 2020 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS ABSTRACT This report summarizes data on abundance, distribution, and reproductive success of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) in Massachusetts during the 2020 breeding season. Observers reported breeding pairs of Piping Plovers present at 180 sites; 156 additional sites were surveyed at least once, but no breeding pairs were detected at them. The population increased 6.9% relative to 2019. The Index Count (statewide census conducted 1-9 June) was 779 pairs, and the Adjusted Total Count (estimated total number of breeding pairs statewide for the entire 2020 breeding season) was 794.5 pairs. A total of 1,034 chicks were reported fledged in 2020, for an overall productivity of 1.31 fledglings per pair, based on data from 99.4% of pairs. 2 SUMMARY OF THE 2020 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS INTRODUCTION Piping Plovers are small, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on sandy beaches and dunes along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina to Newfoundland. The U.S. Atlantic Coast population of Piping Plovers has been federally listed as Threatened, pursuant to the U.S. Endangered Species Act, since 1986. The species is also listed as Threatened by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife pursuant to the Massachusetts’ Endangered Species Act. Population monitoring is an integral part of recovery efforts for Atlantic Coast Piping Plovers (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1996, Hecht and Melvin 2009a, b).
