for coastal waters on the upper North Shore and in Pleasant Bay on Cape Cod. On
the North Shore, the ban on discharge of all boat sewage (whether treated or
not) would apply to the state waters from Gloucester to Salisbury and up the
Merrimack River to Lawrence. In Pleasant Bay, the discharge ban would apply to
the Bay’s waters in Chatham, Harwich, and Eastham. These NDAs will be the
Commonwealth's 14<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup>, with an ultimate goal of
all state waters designated as an NDA. Efforts are currently under way to
authorize NDAs in the Commonwealth’s remaining coastal waters including,
Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds, the Outer Cape, and Mt. Hope Bay.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard has focused on changes to local bylaws and
codes to minimize the town’s storm risk. After numerous meetings and
deliberations, a team of local officials and citizens identified several zoning
changes as the most effective tools to address the town’s concerns.
Specifically, proposed amendments to the town’s floodplain overlay
district will prohibit new residential development and expansion of existing
development in the most hazardous flood zones—those designated as V, VE,
or AO zones by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In the less
hazardous flood zones, designated as A zones by FEMA, the town will require a
special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The amendments were presented
to and approved by the town’s selectmen and will be voted on at the
Spring Town Meeting to be held later this month. To read more about the
