Town of Mashpee 2016 Annual Report The theme of the 2016 Annual Report is shellfish, and its role as a recreational activity, a commercial endeavor, and a means of reducing nitrogen in the Town’s waterways. The Mashpee Comprehensive Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan was the first to be approved by the EPA, with shellfish as a major component of water quality restoration. The plan is to increase shellfish populations to filter algae from blooms and remove nitrogen. This could lead to significant savings in costs associated with the wastewater management component of the plan. We also want to dedicate this year’s report to all of the groups and individuals who are involved with shellfish in the Town, including families and commercial harvesters, shellfish farmers, consumers, Town staff, Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe staff and the many volunteers. Everyone working to propagate shellfish for harvest is directly contributing to the Town’s efforts to restore water quality. As you will see in the photos scattered throughout this report, shellfishing is a fun activity that is enjoyed by residents of all ages. Shellfish are also a high-quality, nutritious, locally produced food, and Mashpee is privileged to have this resource so readily available to us.
