Welcome to Massachusetts, home to some of the best saltwater fish- Commonwealth of Massachusetts ing in the country! This recreational guide is produced annually by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MarineFisheries) Charles D. Baker with the goal of providing you with plenty of information to Governor make your recreational saltwater fishing experience a great one. Karyn Polito Lieutenant Governor The 2015 Saltwater guide provides information about when and where to get onto the water to target whichever species you may be trying to catch. It also provides regulations for the recreational Executive Office of Energy and harvest of finfish, lobsters, and crabs, as well as locations where to Environmental Affairs launch your boat, buy angling supplies (bait and tackle shops), and Dr. Michael P. Armstrong, Matthew A. Beaton find licensed captains that operate for-hire vessels to take you out Assistant Director for Recreational Fisheries Secretary on the water. Need to learn a new knot or rig for your repertoire? We’ve got a few of the most common in here too. And if that isn’t enough for you, there are Department of Fish and Game also several articles highlighting projects aimed at continuing to improve recreational fish- ing in Massachusetts. Mary-Lee King Interim Commissioner Getting kids outside and teaching them about fishing in saltwater was a big part of the sum- mer of 2014. On page 8 you’ll find a great article on MarineFisheries’ inaugural youth fishing Division of Fish and Game clinic. The money to fund this clinic came directly from your recreational permit dollars and this was just the start of great things to come in angler education! The public access “small Paul J. Diodati grants” program (see page 10) was also a huge success in its inaugural year and allows for Director towns or other organizations to apply for up to $10,000 to help fund projects that improve public access for saltwater recreational anglers. January 2015 Our mission is to manage the Commonwealth’s living marine resources in balance with the environment resulting in sustainable fisheries. This means that sometimes as an agency, we need to make changes to bag and size limits so that we can properly manage the fish stocks that we all use. Please be sure to check our website before you head out on the water to be sure that you are up to date on any changes to regulations. All of our regulations are subject to change even during a season, so we will always have the current rules available to you. We keep working to make fishing in the Massachusetts marine environment the best it can Marine Fisheries be, but you can help too. As responsible anglers (see page 9), your influence is essential for Advisory Commission: keeping fish and their environment in good shape.

Cathy Douglas Stone, Vice-chair, called the meeting to order. A motion was made to approve the minutes of the meeting held on May 18, 2004. The motion was unanimously approved. Opening Comments Maynard Goldman enthusiastically introduced Tom Powers, the new President of Island Alliance. Tom said that this was his first official day in the position and that he was looking forward to working with everyone. Peddocks Island Doug Welch, Island Alliance, reported that the team continues to work with the Massachusetts Historical Commission as they investigate geology and potential groundwater sources on the island. Drilling is expected to commence next week. Doug said that they submitted a grant to the Amelia Peabody Foundation for $1M to rehabilitate the chapel on the island. Based on previous successes with the foundation and a letter written by John F. Kennedy supporting the restoration of the chapel, they are hopeful that it is a compelling project. Doug said that the asbestos remediation of the guardhouse will begin this summer. Bargmann Hendrie & Archetype is managing the project which is funded by the NPS and Duke Energy remediation monies. This will be a very visible project; informational signs will be placed on the island to educate visitors about the work.

    The Cape Ann Plutonic Suite

    BRADY, CHENEY, RAMEZANI, THOMPSON A4-1 THE CAPE ANN PLUTONIC SUITE: CLASSIC STOPS FOR TEACHING PETROLOGY ALONG THE NORTH SHORE By John B., Brady, Department of Geosciences, Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063 John T. Cheney, Department of Geology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002 Jahandar Ramezani, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139 Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481-8203 INTRODUCTION Cape Ann, because of its proximity to Boston and many universities, has long been a focus of geologic study. Nineteenth century papers we located that consider mineralogy or petrology of Cape Ann rocks include Prescott (1839), Nichols (1856), Kimball (1860), Gregory (1862), Mudge (1862), Balch (1864), Cooke (1866, 1867), Knowlton (1867), Hyatt (1869, 1871a, 1871b), Hunt (1871), Wadsworth (1878, 1882a, 1882b, 1885), Sears (1888, 1889a, 1889b, 1890a, 1890b, 1891a, 1891b, 1893, 1894, 1898), Shaler (1889), Pearce (1893), Penfield (1896), and Washington (1898, 1899a, 1899b, 1899c, 1899d). More recent studies of note include Wright (1900), Warren (1903) Clapp (1921), Warren and McKinstry (1924), Bowen (1935), Palache (1950), Toulmin (1964), Dennen (1976, 1991a, 1991b, 1992), Wones (1983), Hon et al. (1993), Hepburn et al. (1993), Bozhilov and Evans (2001), Thompson and Ramezani (2008), Rose et al. (2009), Thompson et al. (2010a), Thompson et al. (2010b), and Ross, M. (2014). With this long history of study, Cape Ann offers an unusual wealth of data and opinion that match the extensive, interesting, and beautiful outcrops that occur there, making it a destination of choice for petrologists. For many years, Brady and Cheney have been jointly taking their petrology classes on a one-day field trip to the Cape Ann region to see and discuss igneous rocks in a spectacular setting.
