Vote — unanimous in favor. <br /> Shellfish Constable's Report: Oyster harvesting is going well. The oysters are <br /> smeller this year. The very hot weather and less algae in early summer was <br /> factor. Scallops are mostly fished out now. Families are still quahogging on the <br /> warmer days this winter. <br /> The propagation program went well last year. The 6,000,000 quahog seed were <br /> planted under nets in Great River. Borne from the early batch of seed were 1 ! <br /> but most were smaller. The other quahog seed was planted in the usual areas. <br /> The oyster seed numbers are up, but the size is smaller than usual. They could <br /> make up for this with good growth next summer. <br /> Community Preservation funds for next year approved at Torn Meeting <br /> ($114,000).
