provides information on major CZM initiatives, available tools and
publications, upcoming workshops and events, grants, contracting opportunities,
job openings, coastal legislation, and other news of interest to people working
on coastal issues. Additional information about CZM's programs, publications,
and other coastal topics can be found on the <a href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/"

Planning Process Continues<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>In May, the Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs (EEA) continued work toward meeting the June 30, 2009,
deadline for submittal of a draft ocean management plan to the Massachusetts
Legislature. Continuing the public participation process, EEA hosted two
well-attended Ocean Advisory Commission (OAC) public workshops on May 2 in
Wood's Hole and May 6 in Boston. At these workshops, EEA presented preliminary
spatial analysis results and conceptual management measures for implementing the
ocean management plan. The OAC also met on May 28 to review a further-refined
set of management measures, building on the discussion at the earlier May
workshops. The Science Advisory Council met on May 26 to discuss proposed
scientific and research priorities for ocean management in Massachusetts in the
future. For more on the ocean planning process, see EEA's <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eoeeasubtopic&L=3&L0=Home&L1=Ocean+%26+Coastal+Management&L2=Massachusetts+Ocean+Plan&sid=Eoeea">Massachusetts
Ocean Plan website</a>. To receive periodic ocean plan updates, send an email

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>EEA Launches Climate Change Advisory Committee<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>In response to the <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/seslaw08/sl080298.htm">Global Warming
Global Warming Solutions Act</a>, EEA Secretary Ian Bowles has appointed a
Climate Change Advisory Committee, which will begin work on June 4 to analyze
strategies for adapting to the predicted impacts of climate change in
Massachusetts. The committee includes representatives with expertise in:
transportation and built infrastructure; commercial, industrial, and
manufacturing activities; low-income consumers; energy generation and
distribution; land conservation; water supply and quality; recreation;
ecosystems dynamics; coastal zone and oceans; rivers and wetlands; and local
government. Five subcommittees are being assembled on: Local Economy, Natural
Resources and Habitat, Human Health and Welfare, Key Infrastructure, and
Coastal Zone and Ocean. CZM Director Deerin Babb-Brott with serve on the
Steering Committee for the effort and CZM will be leading the Coastal Zone and
Ocean Subcommittee, chaired by Assistant Director Bruce Carlisle. CZM staff
will also provide support and expertise to the other subcommittees. Stay tuned
to CZ-Mail for future details.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Straits Pond Restoration Project Cleared for
Construction<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>Construction will begin in September on the Straits
Pond wetland restoration project to reconstruct and enlarge a deteriorating
culvert under Route 228 at the borders of Hull, Cohasset, and Hingham (at the
spot known locally as West Corner). A priority project of CZM's <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/wrp/index.htm" target="_blank">Wetland
Restoration Program</a> (WRP), this project will restore 94 acres of tidal pond
habitat and improve tidal flow to a critically impaired estuary, which is part
of the Weir River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). In addition to
repairing this deficient transportation infrastructure, the project will also
eliminate seasonal infestations of midges, which can inhabit such degraded
systems. This project poses many unique challenges. Three towns all share part
ownership of the structure (which is also classified as a dam) and many of the
utilities that service Hull run through the culvert and need to be maintained
during construction. Project partners include WRP, the Department of
Conservation and Recreation’s (DCR) ACEC Program, the Massachusetts Bays
Program (MBP), the Massachusetts Highway Department, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Conservation Law Foundation/Restore
America's Estuaries program, and the towns of Hull, Cohasset, and Hingham. U.S.
Congressman William Delahunt, State Senator Robert Hedlund, and State
Representative Garrett Bradley were instrumental in securing federal and state
construction funds. Project monitoring will be provided by the Cohasset Center
for Student Coastal Research and MBP. Construction is expected to begin after
Labor Day and take approximately 12 months.<o:p></o:p></p>
