This is perhaps the most important piece of legislation ever introduced on behalf of fish and wildlife in Massachusetts. We are especially pleased with the new amended version of Section 42 of Chapter 131. The original law forbade the discharge of wastes that pose any threat whatsoever to the inland fishery. In addition to the discharge of wastes the amended version forbids manipulation or alteration of flows Board members pictured above are: Top row, left to right-Roger D. Williams, Chairman; Bradlee E.

(Mrs. Bitzer on right.) had held from May of 1 961 to April of 1 965. In May of 1 971 a testimonial dinner was held for Russell A. Cookingham, former Assistant Director of this agency and now Director of the New Jersey Fish and Game Division. Cookingham left a lasting mark with his development of Division programs in the Southeast Wildlife District and his demonstrated ability in administration in such areas as work on the Access Board, recodification of Fish and Game laws, and budget. He will be missed greatly by all who had the privilege to work with him. The Board and Division employees wish Russ the best of luck in his challenging new duty as New Jersey Fish and Game Director. Hearings The Board was encouraged by the large turnout of waterfowlers at our first meeting in Gardner Auditorium at the Boston State House. The facilities in the auditorium proved to be ideal and we hope, for the convenience of waterfowlers, that future hearings can also be held there. HMD As a result of a hearing in Berkshire County the The Division is putting together a report on the Board voted to protect black bear, cutting the land acquisition program, detailing where the season from year-round to one week-the third sportsman's dollar has been spent.

The challenges of the past year have been met, and I am pleased that the public can again access our senior staff, and licensing program at the new Boston office. Staff have worked diligently to complete the new commercial licensing system that brings DMF into the 21st century. Fishermen and seafood dealers have overwhelmingly supported this new format. DMF has not undergone restructuring for over 30 years. While the cliché, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” may hold true in many instances, it does not apply very well to administra- tion of government agencies. Periodic evaluations and strategic changes are critical to overall effectiveness and contribute to longevity of professional organizations. For this reason I’ve devoted much of my first year as DMF’s Director to an examination of our functions, services we provide, and our available resources relative to the agency’s mission with reorganization in mind. A new organizational structure for the Division has been and protect the living marine resources, environment, and completed. It will be highlighted at DMF’s homepage after it fisheries that comprise it. The ex-vessel value of commer- is presented to our staff in April. Restructuring to make better cially-caught fish and direct expenditures related to recre- use of existing resources have forced me to make some ational saltwater fishing exceed a half billion dollars per year.

  • Annual Report Fiscal Year 2019
    Annual Report Fiscal Year 2019 Over the past decade, the Town has partnered with more than 35 federal, state, regional and local agencies, organizations and private companies along with local, state and regional lead- ers to conduct the Coonamessett River Restoration Project. When completed in 2020, it will improve 56 acres of wetland and stream habitat along a mile of the lower Coonamessett River, increase coastal resiliency to expected effects of climate change, and provide new recreational and educational opportunities for the residents of Falmouth and the town’s many visitors. Its success is largely due to the contributions of hundreds of dedicated individuals, both those employed by partnering organizations and the many volunteers, who are passionate about improving the natural environment and leaving a positive legacy for the next generations.

  • Summer 2019 Colleagues, in Honor of the Division's 10-Year Anniversary, This Issue of Ebb&Flow Brings Attention to Some Of
    Summer 2019 Colleagues, In honor of the Division’s 10-Year Anniversary, this issue of Ebb&Flow brings attention to some of the Division’s urban work, which is carried out in partnership with community organizations around the state. Working in an urban environment brings unique technical, logistical, and cost challenges. Yet, as the climate continues to change, the importance of and interest in urban river and wetland restoration projects will continue to grow. First, we present a retrospective of the Division’s urban river restoration and revitalization work. Urban river restoration improves access to and recreation along waterways in densely developed areas. Projects improve water quality and reintroduce overlooked natural resources amenities in environmental justice communities. Read more about this work. Second, after more than 10 years of planning, the Tel-Electric Dam Removal in Pittsfield begins construction, and you can read about it. Located on the West Branch of the Housatonic River, the dam is surrounded by former mill buildings, railroad bridges, walls, and utility lines. Removing the dam will reduce upstream flood levels, restore floodplain storage and functions, improve water quality, and provide public access via a new Greenway. Please also check out our recently-released video about the project, filmed through a partnership with University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Science Media Collaborative. Enjoy the last weeks of summer. I’ll see you on the river! Beth Lambert, Director In this issue: − DER’s New Engineering Group

  • Environmental Management of the Coonamessett River and Preservation of Its Legacy of Cranberry Farming
    Environmental Management of the Coonamessett River and Preservation of its Legacy of Cranberry Farming Produced for the Falmouth Bog Preservation Group Produced by Woods Hole Group 81 Technology Park Drive East Falmouth, MA 02536 (508) 540 8080 November 2003 Environmental Management of the Coonamessett River and Preservation of its Legacy of Cranberry Farming EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are significant cultural and social reasons to retain cranberry farming in the Coonamessett River. The Coonamessett River bogs are the site of a 110-year old working landscape. They connect Falmouth to its agricultural heritage and the diversity of peoples who farmed them and built this town. The bog farming and the river have coexisted for more than a century. Cranberry harvesting brings significant income to the Town of Falmouth through leases and licenses, attracts tourists and townsfolk at harvest time, and is becoming more and more environmentally conscientious. This income generation has exceeded $1 million since 1982, far exceeding the original cost of the land to the Town of Falmouth. Modern cranberry farming is a part of the mosaic of traditional land uses that make Falmouth so attractive. The issue at hand is the evaluation of the environmental risks posed by cranberry farming in light of a plan to restore the Coonamessett River. Restoration of Falmouth’s Coonamessett River can be accomplished without eliminating the agricultural heritage of cranberry farming, but rather can go hand-in-hand with this activity. As with most environmental issues, there may be different interpretations of the impact of cranberry harvesting on the environment. This brief review lays out a scientifically supported series of arguments that demonstrate cranberry farming and river restoration can co-exist, and recommends a process for planning for such co-existence.

Part I, INTRODUCTION. An important part of the work of a progl-essive State fish and game commission is the investigation of natural resources for the purpose of determining proper and effective methods of conserving these valuable assets for the benefit of the public. For the past fifteen years the Massachusetts Division of Fish- eries and Game has been investigating such economic prob- lems, one of which, the alewife fishery, furnishes an excellent illustration of the practical value of biological study in the preservation of a commercial fishery. Importance.- — Since the disappearance of the shad, the ale- wife, or branch herring (Pomolobiis pseudoharengus), the most abundant food fish inhabiting the rivers of the Atlantic coast, has become commercially the most valuable anadromous fish in Massachusetts.
