The 9 foot dam which creates the impoundment has recently been restored and the fishway that provides access was also modified at this time. Juvenile herring out-migration may be negatively impacted by the new rip-rap facing piled at the base of the dam. Efforts should be made to correct some of the detrimental impacts of the dam restoration. The area immediately downstream of the dam has historically supported a strong smelt population and white perch are known to spawn in the lower river. 8 Boston Harbor Watersheds Straits Pond Cohasset, Hull Stream Length (mi) Stream Order pH Anadromous Species Present 1.0 Second 8.9 River herring Obstruction # 1 Straits Pond Tidegate Cohasset, Hull River Type Material Spillway Spillway Impoundment Year Owner GPS Mile W (ft) H (ft) Acreage Built 1.0 Tide gate Metal 10.5 - 95.8 - Town of 42° 15’ 37.146” N Hull 70° 50’ 40.373” W Tidegate at Straits Pond Fishway None Remarks: This 95.8 acre salt pond is maintained at low salinities by a tide gate operated by the Town of Hull.

Smelt deposited eggs primarily in the Monatiquot River, upstream of Route 53, over a stretch of river habitat that exceeded 900 m and included over 8,000 m2 of suitable spawning substrate. Minor amounts of egg deposition were found in Smelt Brook, primarily located below the Old Colony railroad embankment where a 6 ft culvert opens to an intertidal channel. The Smelt Brook spawning habitat is degraded by exposure to chronic stormwater inputs, periodic raw sewer discharges and modified stream hydrology. Overall, the entire Weymouth-Fore River system supports one of the larger smelt runs in Massachusetts Bay, with approximately 10,000 m2 of available spawning substrate.

The Massachusetts Bay Hydrodynamic Model: 2005 Simulation. Boston: Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. Report 2008-12. 58 pp. Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Boston, Massachusetts The Massachusetts Bay Hydrodynamic Model: 2005 Simulation Prepared by: Mingshun Jiang & Meng Zhou Department of Environmental, Earth and Ocean Sciences University of Massachusetts Boston 100 Morrissey Blvd Boston, MA 02125 July 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod Bay system (MBS) is a semi- enclosed coastal system connected to the Gulf of Maine (GOM) through boundary exchange. Both natural processes including climate change, seasonal variations and episodic events, and human activities including nutrient inputs and fisheries affect the physical and biogeochemical environment in the MBS. Monitoring and understanding of physical–biogeochemical processes in the MBS is important to resource management and environmental mitigation. Since 1992, the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) has been monitoring the MBS in one of the nation’s most comprehensive monitoring programs. Under a cooperative agreement between the MWRA and University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB), the UMB modeling team has conducted numerical simulations of the physical–biogeochemical conditions and processes in the MBS during 2000-2004. Under a new agreement between MWRA, Battelle and UMB, the UMB continues to conduct a numerical simulation for 2005, a year in which the MBS experienced an unprecedented red–tide event that cost tens of millions dollars to Massachusetts shellfish industry. This report presents the model validation and simulated physical environment in 2005.

  • Nitrogen Flow and the Interaction of Boston Harbor with Massachusetts
    Estuaries Vol. 20, No. 2, p. 365-380 June 1997 Nitrogen Flow and the Interactionof Boston HarborWith Massachusetts Bay JOHN R. KELLY1 3 Willow Lane Rye, New Hampshire 03870 ABSTRACT: This paper summarizes evidence that most of the considerable nitrogen loading (-8, 470 mmol total N m-2 yr-1) to Boston Harbor (Massachusetts, USA) is expelled to shallow shelf waters of Massachusetts Bay, where it strongly influences ecological dynamics. Examination of nitrogen concentrations in the harbor, compared with loading, indicated that removal processes are active in the harbor. Comparison to other estuarine systems showed that the harbor's nitrogen concentrations are consistent with its loading, if they are corrected for tidal flushing effects on the water residence time. Furthermore, extensive measurements of sediment denitrification confirmed that rates of N2 gas loss are high in an absolute sense (-600-800 mmol N m-2 yr-l) but nonetheless remove only a small portion (<10%) of the annual land-derived nitrogen loading. Burial in sediments apparently removes only about 2% of the N input, implying export to offshore environments as the major removal process (-88-90% of N input). Western Massachusetts Bay receiving waters were examined for a signature of export from the harbor. Data consistently show a gradient of decreasing nitrogen concentrations from the harbor to about 10-20 km into the bay. In many cases, plots of nitrogen concentrations versus salinity show nearly conservative mixing character, which implies virtual export. Seasonally, the data suggest most of the export from the harbor in winter is as dissolved inorganic forms (NH4+, NO3-, NO2-).

  • Natural Resources and Open Space Draft
    DRAFT FOR LOCAL REVIEW Natural, Open Space, and Recreation Resources 6. Natural, Open Space and Recreation Resources Introduction The well-protected shallow harbor, coastal plains, fertile river valley, and adjacent upland areas that characterize the Town of Hingham have drawn humans for centuries. Native Americans – members of the Massachusett triBe -- survived on the diverse food resources of the coastal clam flats, Weir River, and upland grasslands and forests. Today, these sites add to the overall quality of life in the town, providing places to explore, play, relax and recharge. Hingham’s commitment to protecting these resources has safeguarded them for the benefit of generations to come. World’s End, a 251-acre peninsula extending from Hingham’s northeast This chapter of the inventory addresses coastline, was protected from development by a private land trust, The Hingham’s natural, open space and Trustees of Reservations, in 1957. It is one of the town’s most treasured open spaces. (Photo courtesy of The Trustees of Reservations) recreation resources. It is divided into three sections, as follows:1 • A description of existing conditions and trends, organized by resource type, and including: o An overview of existing natural, open space and recreation resources; o A synopsis of past and current efforts to protect these resources; and o A description of the many public (federal, state and local) and private entities involved in resource protection. • An outline of regional natural resources and open space and recreation considerations; and • A summary of issues and challenges related to the resources to be considered in the 2020 Master Plan.

  • Birding the Boston Harbor Islands
    Birding the Boston Harbor Islands John Move Introduction Boston Harbor Islands After nearly a decade of lobbying by m Representatives Gerry Studds and Joe Moakley and Senator Edward Keimedy, the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area was created by an Act of * * Congress in 1996. Unique among sites in the National Parks system, it is managed by a partnership made up of the twelve owners and operators of the thirty islands named in the legislation together with several advocacy groups and the National Park Service (NPS) itself After a five-year process of study and public input, a management plan was recently released that will guide the park as it moves into the new millennium. Of interest to birders and to visitors in general is the recommendation that calls for increased public access to the islands. At the same time, several of the more remote islands, traditionally used by colonial nesting species, are to remain undeveloped. In operation since the early 1970s, the Boston Harbor Islands State Park, now a part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area (the name it now goes by after Native Americans objected to using the phrase “recreation area” to describe islands on which some of their ancestors were imprisoned and died), is co-managed by the Massachusetts Department of Enviromnental Management (DEM) and the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC). Currently, six of the nineteen state-owned islands make up the nucleus of the Area, hosting nearly 125,000 visitors aimually. They are staffed seasonally and are accessible by ferry and water-taxi link from Boston as well as from the North and South Shores.
