Ocean Planning

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) and CZM
are actively developing the building blocks for the ocean management
planning process, which include filling the legislatively prescribed
bodies of the Ocean Advisory Commission (OAC) and the Ocean Science
Council (OSC), as well as working on generating the data and materials
needed to get these bodies up and running. It is anticipated that the
OAC and OSC will be empanelled in August and will begin actively working
to advise EEA Secretary Bowles on the development of the ocean
management plan. To coordinate these ongoing ocean planning efforts, on
August 5, CZM will welcome back former Boston Harbor Regional
Coordinator, John Weber as Ocean Services Manager (see CZM Staff &
People below). John will be working at EEA as a key member of the ocean
planning team. Stay tuned to the CZM website <http://www.mass.gov/czm>
for updates.

Boston Harbor and Cape Cod NDAs Approved

In July, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the
state's proposals to designate the coastal waters of Boston Harbor and
Cape Cod Bay, as vessel No Discharge Areas (NDAs). In Boston Harbor, the
ban on discharge of all boat sewage applies to the state waters of
Winthrop, Chelsea, Everett, Boston, Quincy, Milton, Weymouth, Braintree,
Hingham, and Hull. The Boston Harbor NDA also includes the waters of the
Charles River in Watertown, Newton, and Cambridge. In Cape Cod Bay, the
discharge ban would apply to the bayside coastal waters of Bourne,
Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham,
Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown. The designations are in response to
EEA nominations for NDA status. Both applications were prepared by CZM
with assistance from Urban Harbors Institute in Boston, and the
Association to Preserve Cape Cod and Nantucket Soundkeeper on Cape
Cod-all working closely with the communities involved. With these latest
designations, more than two-thirds of the Massachusetts coastline is
covered by an NDA. For details, see the Boston Federal Register Notice
<http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-16981.htm>  and the Cape Cod
Federal Register Notice
<http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-17101.htm> . Celebration events
were held on July 7 in Boston and on July 14 in Dennis to announce these
NDA designations. For more on NDA activities along the coast, see CZM's
NDA website <http://www.mass.gov/czm/nda/index.htm> .

CZM Funds Pumpouts on Cape Cod

In support of the recently designated Cape Cod Bay NDA, CZM's Coastal
Pollutant Remediation Grant (CPR) Program
<http://www.mass.gov/czm/cprgp.htm>  funded the design and installation
of two shoreside boat waste pumpout facilities-at Sesuit Harbor in
Dennis and at McMillan Pier in Provincetown. The Sesuit Harbor pumpout
was completed earlier this summer and will provide services to the
estimated 290 vessels in the harbor. The Provincetown facility,
completed in July, will serve more than 800 vessels. These CPR-funded
facilities can handle boat waste from both the recreational and
commercial fleet in each harbor and provide a vital service to many
fishing, whale watch, and excursion vessels. For a complete list of
pumpout facilities along the Massachusetts coast, see the CZM's
Massachusetts Pumpout Facilities web page
<http://www.mass.gov/czm/nda/pumpouts/index.htm> .

CZM Presents at 21st Coastal Society Conference

CZM staff attended the Coastal Society's 21st Conference held from June
29-July 2 in Los Angeles, California. As a result of CZM's exciting
ongoing work, our staff were selected and invited to give seven
presentations on the following wide-ranging topics: Massachusetts public
trust lands, coastal structures, seafloor mapping, working waterfronts,
CZM's StormSmart Coasts Program <http://www.mass.gov/czm/stormsmart/> ,
and integrated ocean management. The presentations and associated
discussion panels were well received and CZM's work on broad coastal
issues was noted and appreciated by the conference participants.

CZM Nominates Wareham Property for CELCP Funding

In July, CZM submitted an application to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to nominate the Great Neck
Conservation Partnership Program in Wareham for fiscal year (FY) 2009
federal Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) funding.
CZM worked closely with the Department of Conservation and Recreation
(DCR) and other project partners, including Mass Audubon, the Wareham
Land Trust, the town of Wareham, and the Coalition for Buzzards Bay, to
help craft the CELCP nomination application. Project partners are
seeking $2.3 million in CELCP funding to help purchase a conservation
restriction on approximately 95 acres located on the Wareham shoreline.
The complete $8.26 million project will lead to the long-term protection
of more than 260 acres that have many of the ecological, conservation,
recreational, historic, and aesthetic values important to the CELCP.
Competition for the limited federal CELCP funds is expected to be
strong. For more information, see CZM's CELCP website
<http://www.mass.gov/czm/celcp/index.htm> .

Red Tide Bloom Subsides-Some Areas Reopen

Over the past month, the red tide bloom has subsided in some portions of
the Commonwealth's coast, allowing the Massachusetts Division of Marine
Fisheries (DMF) to reopen a number of areas to shellfishing. For the
latest information about the red tide bloom in Massachusetts, including
detailed closure maps, go to the DMF website

21st year on September 20 at Salisbury Beach. Volunteers throughout
Massachusetts turn out in large numbers each year for this event, which
is part of an international campaign organized by The Ocean Conservancy
in Washington, DC. Participants all over the world collect marine debris
and record the types of trash they collect. This information is then
used to help reduce future marine debris problems. Cleanups will be
scheduled throughout September and October. To get involved, go to the
COASTSWEEP website <http://www.coastsweep.umb.edu/> .
