Sandwich, MA 02537 <br /> November 24, 1981 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> On May 11, 1981 a survey was completed of two shellfish grants proposed <br /> by Mr. Francis J. Sullivan (approx. 1.56 acres) and Mr. Richard S. Kuusela <br /> (approx. 0.78 acre) located on the east shore of Waquoit Bay, south of the <br /> mouth of Great River. <br /> The area was formed to consist almost entirely of clean sandy bottom <br /> and contained very few shellfish. Sampling consisted of six equally spaced <br /> transects running parallel to the shore through the length of the two pro- <br /> posed grants. Samples of about 2 ft.2 each were taken every 100 feet along <br /> each transect. A total of 150 samples were taken yielding 45 quahogs or 0.15 <br /> quahogs per ft2. This is not considered a significant population of shellfish. <br /> Therefore, under authority of Chapter 130, section 57-of the MGL, this <br /> Division certifies that licnese and operation of the two shellfish grants as i <br /> proposed at the sites inspected (see attached) would cause no substantial <br /> adverse effect on the natural shellfish resources of the town. <br /> Grantees-should be notified that permits are needed from the. Division <br /> Of Marine Fisheries to possess or transplant seed shellfish and/or seed/adult <br /> oysters. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> J. Michael Hickey <br /> Marine Fisheries Biologist <br /> cc: P. Coates, Director DMF <br /> R. Courtemanche, Shellfish Constable <br /> F. Sullivan, Applicant <br /> R. Kuusela, Applicant ' y <br />
