Cape Cod in particular is grappling with the potentially enormous costs of reducing the nutrient load to coastal waters and all options are up for discussion. </span></font></span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Shellfish are natural inhabitants of coastal waters and through their normal feeding activity are involved in cycling and incorporating nutrients through their food. This four-page bulletin discusses the potential, and also the challenges to using shellfish production as part of a nutrient reduction plan. </span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Available </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 18px;">as a pdf by visiting <a href="http://www.whoi.edu/seagrant">www.whoi.edu/seagrant</a> or </span></font></span><a href="http://www.capecodextension.org/marine-programs/publications/">www.capecodextension.org/marine-programs/publications/</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 18px;">.</span></font></span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br></span></font></span></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 18px;">For a hard copy, please email </span></font></span><a href="mailto:seagrant@whoi.edu" style="color: rgb(63, 132, 25); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">seagrant@whoi.edu</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">.</span></div>
