Ed and Kim,
At our last hearings for the Pamela Randon and Stephen Madden projects I quoted a paragraph from page 47 of the 205
page document entitled The Environmental Impacts of Boating; Proceedings of a Workshop held at Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole MA December 7 to 9, 1994. It was a technical report dated March
1998. Attached is that report, which should be distributed to each of the commissioners, etc. and placed in the public
record.
I am also forwarding two additional relevant documents that provide means to objectively evaluated the quality of habitat
for hardshell clams (Mercenaria mercenaria). These reports are:
Mulholland, R. 1984. Habitat suitability index models: hard clam. U.S. Fish Wild!. Serv. FWS/OBS-82/10.77. 21 pp.
Thompson, M., E. Milbrandt, and L. Reidenbach. 2021. Hard Clam Habitat Suitability Model and Potential Restoration
Site Selection. Project Award CZ226-A1 SCCF Marine Laboratory. 35 pp.
Please distribute these two documents to each of the commissioners, including myself.
Thank you.
Bill Hearn
