<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Recreational Use Study Underway<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>This summer, boaters will participate in a survey to
determine important recreational routes and destinations in Massachusetts
coastal waters to ensure that these areas can be given appropriate attention in
future management decisions. Thank you to the more than 1,300 boaters who
volunteered to participate in the study, which will extend through October to
cover the 2010 boating season. The Urban Harbors Institute (UHI) of the University
of Massachusetts (UMass) Boston is leading the study in partnership with the
Massachusetts Ocean Partnership, Massachusetts Marine Trades Association,
Massachusetts Harbormasters Association, Massachusetts Boating and Yacht Club
Association, Sailors for the Sea, and CZM. This project is in response to an

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>2010 Rapid Assessment Survey<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>From July 24-August 1, an expert team of taxonomists
will be on the hunt for marine invaders throughout New England as part of the
2010 Rapid Assessment Survey (RAS). The RAS, coordinated by CZM and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sea Grant program, has occurred
roughly every three years since 2000. The survey provides an opportunity to
discover new marine invaders through a close inspection of flora and fauna.
This year, 25 sites from Rhode Island to Maine will be monitored for both
native and non-native marine species. In addition, the RAS team will survey
natural intertidal habitats, such as rocky shores, to allow for comparisons of
species and community assemblages between artificial and natural habitats.
Funding for the survey is provided through the National Estuaries Programs in
New England and the Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Panel. For more
information on the Rapid Assessment Survey, contact Jan Smith <a

following nine coastal zone enhancement areas: Wetlands, Public Access, Coastal
Hazards, Cumulative and Secondary Impacts, Energy and Government Facility
Siting, Ocean Resources, Special Area Management Plans, Marine Debris, and
Aquaculture. In accordance with federal guidance from NOAA’s Office of
Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, CZM has developed its draft <i>Section
