The location of the proposed <br /> Aquaculture Grant will be located just east ofucconesset Point and just west of <br /> Koch Landing. Two hundred feet offshore jn three to four feet of water at mean low <br /> tide. Mr. Bangs does not feel that his site 's obstructing any navigable channels or <br /> mo ormg areas., <br /> Jhn Hanks told Bob Bangs that his concerns were with the depth of water and the <br /> probability that boats propellers are still apt to hit the equipment even with the <br /> presence of appropriate buoys, <br /> Mr. Bangs was very compliant as to the suggestions for changes in the height of the <br /> gear and he agreed to go from 18 inches above the bottom to 8 inches above so to <br /> avoid becoming a navigable hazard, <br /> Herb Silver asked Mr. Bangs if he could be more speck regarding exactly what gear <br /> he felt he would be using. Bob responded that it was difficult to determine since he <br /> was m somewhat "uncharted territory" and he was uncertain of what was going to <br /> work favorably, if anything, in the open water. <br /> Bob further explained that the main reason he chose this site was because <br /> harbornaster� Perry Ellis recommended it, <br /> .mer a lot more discussion and suggestions, Jinn banks persuaded commission board <br /> members to agree to put some comments down on paper to better advise lir.

This <br /> draft is a comprehensive report on water quality, The Mashpee Kiger Fecal Coliform <br /> Bacteria Study, which was funded by the planning board and started in the summer of <br /> 1986. <br /> Mr. York's study focuses on the bacteria.while Brian Lowes of the School of Marine <br /> Science and Technology, University of Mass at Dartmouth, is working on the <br /> Nitrogen impact analysis, <br />
