<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>COASTSWEEP 25—Organize or Join a Cleanup!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><span style='color:black'>COASTSWEEP, the state-wide beach
cleanup sponsored by CZM and the Urban Harbors Institute at UMass Boston, is
celebrating its 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary this year. Volunteers throughout
Massachusetts turn out in large numbers every fall for this event, which is
part of an international campaign organized by Ocean Conservancy in Washington,
DC. Participants all over the world collect trash and other marine debris and
record what they find, and this information is used to help reduce future
marine debris problems. For the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary, the goal is to
clean up every coastal beach in Massachusetts. Interested in organizing a
cleanup? It’s easy! All the cleanup supplies (bags, gloves, data cards,
pencils, etc.) are provided free of charge, and cleanups can be scheduled at
your convenience from now through October. </span>To get involved, see the <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZ-Tip: 25 Ways to Commemorate the 25<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary of COASTSWEEP<span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>Since 1987, CZM has sponsored COASTSWEEP beach
cleanups in Massachusetts as part of the Ocean Conservancy’s
International Coastal Cleanups—and thousands of volunteers have helped
remove hundreds of tons of trash and other marine debris from the Massachusetts
coast. To commemorate COASTSWEEP’s 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary, this
month’s CZ-Tip includes 25 marine debris facts, along with suggestions on
how you can help reduce the problem. See <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZM Surveyed Seafloor aboard the OSV Bold<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><a name="_GoBack"></a>CZM staff successfully
completed a seven-day oceanographic survey aboard the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) <a href="http://www.epa.gov/bold/">Ocean Survey
Vessel <i>Bold</i></a>. From August 21-27, the survey team collected samples of
seafloor sediments and organisms and took underwater videos and still photos of
the seafloor and its marine life. The survey was a unique partnership that also
included participants from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries,
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Massachusetts Bays
Program, Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division, U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS), and EPA. The cruise was highly productive, with the
team gathering seafloor photographs from 350 stations, 219 sediment grain size
samples, and 207 infauna samples using the USGS <a
href="http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/sfmapping/seaboss.htm">SEABOSS</a><span
style='color:#1F497D'> </span>sampling system. The data were collected in
round-the-clock shifts as the <i>Bold</i> transited Commonwealth waters off the
North Shore, from Hull to Salisbury. Areas of interest included large boulder,
cobble, and gravel deposits, along with the depositional delta created by the
Merrimack River. Organisms identified using the SEABOSS’s photographic
capabilities included burrowing anemones, sponges, various species of fish and
crustaceans, and deepwater corals, among many other. The infauna (organisms
that live in the sediment) will be identified and counted, which will help
identify unique groups of organisms in the different depth zones, sediment
types, or study regions. The results will assist with the ground truthing of
seafloor sediment and habitat maps created by CZM, continuing work that began
during CZM's June 2010 and September 2011 research cruises aboard the <i>Bold</i>.
The survey directly supports the CZM and USGS <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/seafloor/index.htm">Seafloor Mapping Program</a>,
along with CZM's other seafloor habitat mapping efforts. The updated habitat
maps will help CZM refine the resource maps used in the 2009 <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/eea/ocean-coastal-management/mass-ocean-plan/">Massachusetts
Ocean Management Plan</a> and will assist CZM and other agencies in their
siting and permitting of ocean uses. Due to proposed federal budget cuts, this
may be the last opportunity for Massachusetts and other coastal states to take
advantage of the valuable research platform that the <i>Bold</i> provides. For
details on the <i>Bold</i> survey, see the <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Massachusetts Ocean Management Plan Data in MORIS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>The 2009 <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/eea/ocean-coastal-management/mass-ocean-plan/">Massachusetts
Ocean Management Plan</a>—the nation's first comprehensive plan to
protect critical marine resources and foster sustainable uses in the state's
ocean waters—included static maps with the spatial data used in plan
development, such as underwater cable corridors and long-tailed duck habitat.
To allow users to access and interact with the data behind these maps, as part
of its Massachusetts Ocean Resource Information System (MORIS) web-based
coastal mapping tool, CZM has developed Data. This new site offers all the data
in the Massachusetts Ocean Management Plan, as well as a number of base layers
to put the plan data into better context, and allows users to zoom in to areas
of interest, turn data layers on or off, combine data in novel ways, and even
share the maps with others. <o:p></o:p></p>
