Act of 2008</a>, legislation that requires Massachusetts to develop a
first-in-the-nation comprehensive plan to manage development in state waters,
balance natural resource preservation with traditional and new uses, including
renewable energy development. The Act requires Secretary of the Executive
Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Ian
Bowles</st1:PersonName> to develop the ocean plan based on scientific and
stakeholder participation, and requires a draft plan by the summer of 2009 and
a final plan by December 31, 2009. Deerin Babb-Brott, Assistant Secretary and
Director of the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act Office and former CZM Assistant
Director, has been appointed to lead development of the ocean plan and oversee

Receives Gulf of Maine Visionary Award<o:p></o:p></span></font></a></p>

June 24, the </span></font><a href="http://gulfofmaine.org/">Gulf of Maine
(GOM) Council on the Marine Environment</a> presented its 2008 Visionary Awards
to four Massachusetts visionaries, volunteers, and leaders. Council Chair and
CZM Director Leslie-Ann McGee was especially honored to present the first Susan
Snow-Cotter Leadership Award to Bruce Carlisle, CZM Assistant Director. The
Susan Snow-Cotter Leadership Award is bestowed in memory of a long-time friend
of the Council and former Director of CZM to an individual from the region who
exemplifies outstanding leadership or exceptional mentoring in the GOM
watershed. Carlisle, who started working at CZM in 1993, played a critical role
in developing the state’s Coastal Nonpoint Program—helping
Massachusetts to become one of the first states in the country to receive
federal approval for its comprehensive plan for dealing with this major water
quality issue. He worked on coastal wetland assessment projects, pioneering the
development of integrity indicators to measure salt marsh condition and later
became Manager of CZM’s Wetlands Restoration Program. In 2005 Carlisle
was promoted to the CZM Assistant Director position, where he directs policy
development, planning efforts, and technical approaches for program areas including
shoreline and floodplain management, habitat restoration, water quality, and
GIS/data management. During Susan Snow-Cotter’s battle with Inflammatory
Breast Cancer, he also served as Acting Director. “Innovative work on
coastal management issues and true commitment to the people he works with are
what makes Bruce Carlisle exceptional and deserving of this recognition,”
said Leslie-Ann McGee. “Susan would have been very happy to know he is
the first to receive this prestigious award for his loyalty to CZM and support
to her and her family during a very difficult time.” Congratulations
Bruce!<o:p></o:p></p>

Longard Volunteer Award recognizes outstanding volunteers within the GOM
watershed. The 2008 recipient is Lawry Reid, founder and president of the
Straits Pond Watershed Association (SPWA). Straits Pond, a critically impaired
100-acre coastal salt pond in Hull, is part of a regional wetland restoration
project in which Lawry and the 30 members of the SPWA have been cornerstone
partners. The two Visionary Awards recognize innovation, creativity, and
commitment to protecting the marine environment. Edward Thomas, Esquire was
selected for his extensive pro bono publico assistance to CZM on the </span></font><a

His dedication and expertise has significantly bolstered CZM’s ability to
promote coastal community resiliency through the No Adverse Impact Approach.
The second Massachusetts Visionary Award was presented to David Delaney, the
Director of Invasive Tracers, an organization that brings together biologists
and volunteers to monitor sites from New Jersey to Canada for native and
invasive species. His involvement in bringing inner city youth to marine
environments to conduct hands-on learning has earned him status as a visionary.

Weaver’s Cove<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The
proposed Weaver's Cove Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project in Fall River
includes construction and operation of a 200,000 cubic meter LNG storage tank,
a dock, and an LNG off-loading facility. On July 6, 2007, CZM issued an
objection to the project, finding it inconsistent with its Coastal Management
Program as the project proponents (Weaver’s Cove, LLC, and Mill River
Pipeline, LLC) failed to obtain and submit all applicable state permits.
CZM’s decision was appealed and on June 26, U.S. Secretary of Commerce,
Carlos Gutierrez, sustained the objection to the proposed project. The
Secretary concluded in the decision that “although the Project furthers
the national interest in a significant and substantial manner, the national
interest furthered by the Project does not outweigh the Project’s adverse
coastal effects.” The decision restricts federal agencies from issuing
final authorizations necessary for construction or operation of the project as
proposed, but does not prevent project proponents from seeking future federal consistency
determinations after revising the project to address the adverse coastal
effects.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>On
June 13, project partners came together to celebrate the Sesuit Creek
Restoration Project in Dennis—the largest salt marsh restoration
completed to date in Massachusetts. For more than 80 years the Bridge Street
crossing of Sesuit Creek had choked off upstream wetlands from natural tidal flows,
causing severe degradation of the marsh and obstructing fish passage. The
project replaced a failing two-foot diameter pipe beneath the road with two
10-foot by 12-foot concrete culverts, which increased flow capacity by 60 times
and restored natural tidal conditions to the 65-acre marsh. Combined with the
recent enlargement of other road culverts along the creek by the Massachusetts
Highway Department, this project also restored the fish passage to an important
fish-spawning habitat in upstream Scargo Lake.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Ian Bowles, Director McGee, and Congressman William Delahunt spoke at the
event, praising the town and project partners for this inspiring
accomplishment. “As the state’s largest coastal wetland restoration
project to date, Sesuit Creek is an important and impressive achievement that
will pay environmental dividends for generations to come," Secretary
Bowles said. "I commend officials and residents of the town of Dennis for
their strong stewardship of ecosystems such as this, which make the Cape an
unparalleled place to live, work, and play." Led by the town of Dennis and
its citizens, the project was supported by the following partners: CZM, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine
Fisheries Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the U.S.

Amendments</span></font></i></b></span> - The city of Boston recently submitted
an Amendment to the East Boston Municipal Harbor Plan (MHP) for an area in East
Boston from the McArdle Bridge to Jeffries Point. Originally approved in 2002,
the East Boston MHP Amendment addresses changes for three specific parcels in
the planning area: 102-148 Border Street (Boston East), 6-26 New Street (New
Street), and 125 Sumner Street. The current proposal for the <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>New Street site</span></i> includes a
mixed-use/residential development with a waterfront restaurant, open space,
waterfront amenities, and public access. The <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Boston
East site</span></i> includes a 200-unit mixed-use/residential development,
waterfront amenities, public access, and an interpretive maritime exhibit that
will showcase the existing marine railway that was used for East Boston’s
historic shipbuilding and repair industry. The <i><span style='font-style:italic'>125
Sumner Street site</span></i>, which is owned by the Boston Housing Authority,
is currently occupied by two-story buildings containing 20 affordable
residential units, with no immediate plans for redevelopment. In developing the
MHP Amendment, the city coordinated with CZM, MassDEP, elected officials,
waterfront and open space advocacy organizations, and neighborhood residents.
The planning process has been ongoing for more than nine months and included a
boat tour, two walking tours, a maritime history workshop, and 13 Advisory
Committee meetings. Copies of the proposed MHP Amendment are available on the <a
href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/bra/Planning/PlanningInitsIndividual.asp?action=ViewInit&InitID=125">city
of Boston’s website</a>. Written comments are due by July 11 to Brad

Approved</span></font></i></b></span> - On June 24, the Salem Municipal Harbor
Plan renewal was approved by EEA Secretary Ian Bowles. One of the driving
forces for the city in renewing their MHP was the desire to facilitate the
development of waterfront parcels in a way that meets the needs of the
community while realizing Salem’s vision of drawing the public to the
harbor. The renewal focused on improving general public awareness of and access
to the waterfront; highlighting the historic and cultural aspects of the
waterfront; improving recreational boating opportunities and services;
fostering marine commerce and transportation opportunities; and protecting and
enhancing the environmental quality of the harbor. The new MHP also continues
to support the significant redevelopment of the Designated Port Area to support
expanded water-dependent industrial uses. See the <a

Harbors Institute at UMass Boston, will kick off its 21<sup>st</sup> year on
September 20. Volunteers throughout Massachusetts turn out in large numbers
each year for this event, which is part of an international campaign organized
by The Ocean Conservancy in Washington, DC. Participants all over the world
collect marine debris and record the types of trash they collect. This
information is then used to help reduce future marine debris problems. Cleanups
will be scheduled throughout September and October. To get involved, go to the <a

- In June, the Department of Conservation and Recreation launched the Park
Passport Program in 76 state parks across the Commonwealth, providing little
blue passports and artist-designed stamps to let park users chronicle their
adventures in the great outdoors. The free Park Passport Program, part of the
national No Child Left Inside initiative, is open to everyone who visits a
participating park. The goal is to encourage families to discover and explore
the plants and animals, fresh air, trails, beaches, fields, picnic areas, and
campgrounds in the more than 450,000 acres of Massachusetts state parks. The
passport has special pages to record the dates that individual parks were
visited and to jot down thoughts and impressions of each park. It also includes
environmental and safe hiking tips, and a guide to identifying animal tracks.
At each park, children will find the colorful, birdhouse-like box that holds
the Passport stamp. When they have visited each park in a region, any child
under 14 will receive a t-shirt showing all the colorful stamps from that
region. For details, see the <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/dcr/passport/index.html">Park Passport website</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
