M Town of Mashpee <br /> ' : Shellfish Commission 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> 9��Sl�uti c° �P MINUTES OF MEETING 8-13-13 <br /> Attendance: Marcus Hendricks, William Holmes, Stephen Marques, and Richard <br /> York <br /> Convene Meeting: 7:00 PM <br /> Public Comment: None <br /> Approval of Minutes: Motion to approve the 7-9-13 minutes by Marques <br /> seconded by Holmes. Vote — unanimous in favor. <br /> Shellfish Constable's Report: We put a total of 2,200 bags of remote set oyster <br /> seed into the Mashpee River this year with help from AmeriCorps and the <br /> Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe moving them to the river from the DPW truck that <br /> brought them from the ARC hatchery to Mashpee Neck Landing. We also got <br /> 6,447,000 quahog seed from the ARC hatchery.. I was awarded Service Partner <br /> of the Year by AmeriCorps. The owner of Gooseberry Island told the Tribe not to <br /> trespass on his property, but did not tell them where his property line is. They <br /> move trays up on the beach to work on oysters from their farm (grant) and then <br /> move them back out into the water aqain. Dick Cook's new shellfish grant is still <br /> being appealed by opponents. More oyster thefts were reported in other towns. <br /> The Town of Barnstable had single oysters stolen from one of their propagation <br /> sites. They also grow remote set oysters. I suggested to them that if they did not <br /> grow single oysters they would not have a theft problem, because remote set <br /> oysters in clumps are not marketable. <br /> Old Business: <br /> Shellfish Propagation: (See Shellfish Constable's Report above.) <br /> Sponge Fouling: Nothing new. <br /> Waquoit Bav Town Line: Nothing new. <br /> 08:27 PM ; Adjournment <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Richard York, Shellfish Commission Secretary <br />
