Coastal Habitat and Water Quality Grant Awards Announced
On August 2, Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Beth Card announced $2,089,802 in grant funding at Prince Cove Marina in Barnstable, along with CZM Director Lisa Berry Engler, Barnstable Town Council President Matthew Levesque, awardees, and partners. CZM's Coastal Habitat and Water Quality Grants<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mass.gov%2Fservice-details%2Fcoastal-habitat-and-water-quality-grants&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7Ce5ebf3ba402d4d83297e08da8c2d3503%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C637976424579473853%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=URYZTbTuhXSLbx6feoBQJawPALUhcXA7vUBu6wHZVxo%3D&reserved=0> support efforts to address polluted stormwater runoff to further protect coastal water quality and habitat, as well as to develop comprehensive coastal habitat restoration plans. One priority of the grant program is to support implementation of stormwater green infrastructure, which uses approaches that replicate natural processes to filter and treat pollutants in runoff. To highlight local successes, the announcement event highlighted the stormwater green infrastructure installed at Prince Cove by the Town of Barnstable, in partnership with the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC), Barnstable Land Trust, and Horsley-Witten Group, with partial support from previous CZM funding. The eight funded projects-which are matched by $822,242 from municipal sources, demonstrating a strong local commitment to coastal water quality and habitat-will help keep beaches and shellfish harvesting areas open and advance coastal habitat restoration planning:
Association to Preserve Cape Cod - $95,015 to design green stormwater infrastructure at three public boat ramp sites across Cape Cod. This project builds on initial assessment and design work to address pollution in stormwater runoff at public boat ramps in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game Office of Fishing and Boating Access, Horsley Witten Group, and the towns of Bourne, Brewster, Dennis, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, and Yarmouth.
Barnstable - $27,000 to complete final designs to replace an undersized culvert at Ocean Street, which is currently restricting tidal flow and impacting water quality in the Snows Creek estuary. This project builds off data collection and additional water quality improvement efforts by the town and will improve habitat for fish, birds, and shellfish in the estuary.
Boston Water and Sewer Commission - $800,000 to construct a new stormwater filtration system to treat stormwater runoff, reducing total suspended solids and nutrients, and improving water quality in Canterbury Brook, a tributary to the Charles River. The Commission will monitor the effectiveness of the system in partnership with the City of Boston, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Fairhaven - $275,000 to construct two bioretention basins at Jerusalem Road to treat nutrients and bacteria in stormwater runoff before entering the Outer New Bedford Harbor. This green stormwater infrastructure will improve water quality in the Harbor, supporting shellfish harvesting opportunities.
Kingston - $665,000 to implement stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) along Elm Street and develop a habitat restoration plan for the Jones River estuary. This project builds on previous work funded by CZM to improve coastal habitat and water quality in the Jones River and Kingston Bay.
Melrose - $100,868 to construct 15 stormwater street trenches, a type of small-scale green stormwater infrastructure that can be installed in existing catch basins, to treat nutrients in stormwater runoff, in partnership with the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA). This project builds on an effort funded by CZM and others to install trenches region-wide to improve water quality in the Mystic River Watershed.
Quincy - $44,662 to examine the Rock Island Cove salt marsh complex and plan for restoration. The assessment will include desktop analysis, field evaluations, and outreach to key stakeholders and land managers to identify restoration opportunities and develop a comprehensive restoration plan for the area.
Yarmouth - $82,257 to complete a comprehensive stormwater assessment to identify and prioritize stormwater treatment sites in partnership with APCC. The assessment will result in conceptual designs for green stormwater infrastructure and complements previous stormwater remediation work funded by CZM in the town.

Divers, Drones, and Sound Beams: CZM and MassBays Finish Field Work for Eelgrass Mapping Project
The team from Massachusetts Bays National Estuary Partnership (MassBays), CZM, and partner organizations has been busy this summer working to assess different methods of mapping eelgrass, a marine meadow-forming plant that provides critical fisheries habitat, improves water quality, stores carbon, and protects the shoreline from storms. To properly manage and protect eelgrass, accurate mapping information is needed to track the locations and sizes of meadows. Several remote sensing methods-such as satellites, airplanes, drones, and underwater side scan sonar-provide imagery that can be analyzed for eelgrass, but little is known about the accuracy and limitations of maps generated from these sources. This 18-month study, funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Project of Special Merit grant program, is comparing different remote sensing methods against SCUBA diver surveys to determine how well each method detects the eelgrass meadow's edge and at what eelgrass densities each method performs best. The field surveys completed by the project team from June to July included 15 diver surveys, underwater photo ground truthing at nearly 500 stations, five drone flights, one airplane flight, and five side scan sonar surveys at eelgrass meadows in Gloucester, Beverly, Swampscott, Nahant, and Cohasset. Field data will now undergo a rigorous quality assurance process prior to analysis and reporting.

State Announces Continuation of Drought Conditions in Massachusetts
In late August, EEA Secretary Beth Card, acting on a recommendation of the state's Drought Management Task Force, declared that drought conditions continue in all the state's seven drought regions. A Level 3-Critical Drought was declared in the Northeast, Central, Connecticut River Valley, Southeast, and Cape Cod Regions, and a Level 2-Significant Drought for the Islands and Western Regions. The drought has caused severe impacts on habitat and rivers, such as diminished streams and dry streambeds, ponding in streams, decreased stream water quality, and increased algal growth. It is also impacting the agriculture and water supply sectors, while increasing the risk of wildland fires. The state continues to conduct detailed monitoring of drought conditions, is in close coordination with state and federal agencies, and is providing technical outreach and assistance to affected municipalities. Importantly, it is critical that everyone administers water conservation practices as outlined by their local water supplier and the state, and takes extra precautions when using BBQ grills, campfires, and other open flames when outside to ensure water resources are available for essential needs, such as drinking water and fire protection.
