    September 20, 2016 PROJECT LAUNCHED TO SPUR NEW GENERATION OF AQUACULTURE AROUND THIMBLE ISLANDS The Department of Agriculture is launching a new program designed to foster the development of small-scale shellfishing and other aquaculture operations on historically rich beds around the Thimble Islands in Long Island Sound off Bran- ford. The Department has acquired the shellfishing rights to about 900 acres of the beds, and in the coming months will issue licenses for the plant- ing and harvesting of oysters, hardshell clams and kelp. Connecticut shellfish aquaculture currently gen- erates an estimated $30 million in annual sales, and provides more than 300 jobs statewide. Agriculture Commissioner Steven K.

  • Great Meadows Unit, Stewart B. Mckinney National Wildlife Refuge
    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Proposal to establish and conduct Waterfowl Hunting at the STEWART B. MCKINNEY NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE GREAT MEADOWS UNIT STRATFORD, CONNECTICUT As a result of a 2003 lawsuit filed by the Fund for Animals, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required to amend environmental assessments that describe hunting programs at sixteen national wildlife refuges located in the Northeast Region. The amended environmental assessments will address the cumulative impacts of hunting at all refuges which were named in the lawsuit. This document addresses the hunting programs at Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, Great Meadows Unit. Hunting at Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge was first proposed in the Environmental Assessment, Proposal to establish and conduct Waterfowl hunting at the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge Stratford Connecticut, January 2004. Following a public comment period, the waterfowl hunting program was initiated in fall 2005. The remainder of this document details the hunting program alternatives that were developed and finalized in the 2004 EA. Cumulative impacts of the current hunting programs at the Great Meadows Unit will be addressed following a description of the Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Action proposed in 2004. Prepared by: Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge 733 Old Clinton Road Westbrook, CT 06498 1 Summary The purpose of this Assessment is to evaluate the environmental impacts of establishing and conducting a waterfowl hunting program at Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge (SBMNWR or Refuge) Great Meadows Unit. While hunting is currently not permitted on Refuge lands, historical records indicate waterfowl hunting was a traditional public use at the Great Meadows Unit (GMU) prior to acquisition by the U.S.

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.
