<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Upper North Shore No Discharge Area Approved<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
approved the state's proposal to designate the coastal waters of the upper
North Shore as a vessel No Discharge Area (NDA). This latest NDA designation
prohibits the discharge of any treated or untreated waste in a 176-square-mile
region of state waters in Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, Ipswich, Rowley,
Newbury, Newburyport, Salisbury, Amesbury, West Newbury, Merrimac, Groveland,
North Andover, Haverhill, Methuen, and Lawrence. The designation is in response
to the nomination for NDA status submitted by CZM on behalf of the Executive
Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) earlier this
year—capping a year-long effort involving extensive work by CZM and the
16 communities. With this designation, nearly 60 percent of state waters are
now no-dumping zones for boat sewage. For details, see the <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eoeeapressrelease&L=1&L0=Home&sid=Eoeea&b=pressrelease&f=100805_pr_north_shore&csid=Eoeea">EEA
press release</a> and the <a
href="http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-18363.htm">Upper North Shore
Federal Register Notice</a>. Related efforts to authorize NDAs are underway for
Nantucket Sound, Mt. Hope Bay, and the outer Cape from Chatham to Provincetown.

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Scientists Find New Marine Invader in 2010 Rapid
Assessment Survey<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><span style='color:black'>In July, a team of 20
scientists led by CZM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT)
Sea Grant College Program discovered a new non-native shrimp in Salem Sound.
The discovery was made during the seven-day 2010 Rapid Assessment Survey to
collect, identify, and catalogue marine organisms in coastal waters from Cape
Cod through Maine's mid-coast. The team scoured docks and rocky
shores along the Commonwealth’s coast from Cape Cod to Cape Ann from
July 26 through July 30, searching for and identifying non-native marine
species. The rock pool shrimp <i>Palaemon elegans</i> is a European species that
can grow to over two inches in length and is able to consume a number of
smaller marine organisms. The sighting was hailed as a “major
discovery” by Dr. Jim Carlton, invasive species expert and Director of
the Williams College/Mystic Seaport Maritime Studies Program, who, along with
his students, first spotted the shrimp. His students have since returned to
Salem and collected an additional 70 individuals. Although it is as of yet
unclear what risks the invading shrimp poses to the marine environment, the
Massachusetts Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Working Group has begun the task
of gathering information on this species to evaluate potential impacts and
possible management strategies. Rapid Assessment Surveys, held roughly every
three years since 2000, provide an opportunity to discover new marine invaders
through a close inspection of flora and fauna. This latest sighting reinforces
the importance of surveys and continued monitoring for marine invaders in
invasive species management, including the efforts of CZM’s </span><a

year on September 25 at <a

Massachusetts turn out each year for this event, which is part of an

Participants all over the world collect marine debris and record what they
find. This information is then used to help reduce future marine debris
problems. Cleanups will be scheduled throughout eastern Massachusetts in
September and October. To participate or organize a cleanup, go to the <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Buzzards Bay Project Minigrant Awards<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>In August, EEA announced the award of eight
environmental grants totaling $282,512 to seven Buzzards Bay watershed towns.
The grants will assist the towns in protecting and restoring water quality and
living resources in Buzzards Bay and its surrounding watershed. Administered by
CZM's <a href="http://www.buzzardsbay.org/index.htm">Buzzards Bay National Estuary
Program</a>, the grants will specifically be used to fund land conservation and
infrastructure improvement projects designed to conserve open space and rare
species habitat, protect drinking water resources, and restore herring
migration grounds. The grants were awarded to the towns of Rochester (Carr
Family Bogs Land Reservation Project, $45,000, and Mahoney Wolf Island North
Land Conservation Project, $20,506); Fairhaven (Wolf Island South Land
Conservation Project, $30,506); Marion (Acquisition of Rentumis

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZ-Tip: Fall Planting on the Coast<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>Fall is an ideal time to landscape because rainfall
is usually plentiful and temperatures (and heat stress) are lower. In addition,
the warm fall soil temperatures allow the roots of plants to grow until the
ground freezes, setting the plants up for success the following spring and
summer. And fall plantings can be beautiful. Many deciduous trees and shrubs
offer vibrant fall colors while the bright-colored berries and stems of shrubs
or the feathery flowers of grasses provide visual interest throughout the fall
and winter. Their fruits also provide much needed food for wildlife. For
information on fall planting for your coastal property, including tips on
planting in the coastal environment, fall maintenance practices, planting
beachgrass, and the top 10 plants that will make an impact in your fall and
winter garden, see the <a href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/tips/fall_planting.htm">CZ-Tip
