Ocean Management State Ocean Management Legislative Hearing - A hearing is scheduled on July 18 on two proposed bills to allow for more proactive and effective management of Massachusetts ocean resources. Both bills would authorize the Secretary of Environmental Affairs (in coordination with state agencies and stakeholders) to develop a statewide Ocean Management Plan to manage, develop, and protect natural and economic ocean resources within state waters. The hearing will be held at 1:00 p.m. in room A-1 of the State House before the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture. For those who cannot attend the hearing, written testimony may be sent to the Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, Room 473-F, State House, Boston, MA 02133. Please reference bills H-2602 and S-529. Click here for additional information on the proposed legislation. (This page will be updated later this month.) CZM Launches New Massachusetts Ocean Management Initiative Website - The new website features improved navigation and organization, providing detailed information on the Massachusetts Ocean Management Task Force, the Task Force's Waves of Change final report and recommendations, and state ocean management legislation proposed by Governor Romney. New sections of the site include the Massachusetts Ocean Education Program with its online Ocean Education Guide, links to ocean management resources, recent news, and national highlights. New England Hit with the Largest Red Tide Bloom on Record Due to the spread of toxic red tide, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) has taken action to prohibit the harvesting, sale, or possession of shellfish from a large portion of the Commonwealth's coastal waters. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Service then took emergency action to close a portion of Federal waters off the coasts of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This is the largest bloom in New England history warranting a public health emergency. For the latest information about the red tide bloom in Massachusetts, go to the DMF website. In addition, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) has posted a public health fact sheet about red tide; NOAA has established a New England red tide information website for the public and the media at http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/redtide/; and the Small Business Administration will be issuing low-interest loans to qualified individuals. For more information, go to http://www.sba.gov/disaster. Coast Guide Online! Just in time for the really hot weather, CZM has developed an easy-to-use online guide to beaches and coastal spots on the North Shore and in and around Boston. Based on CZM's Massachusetts Coast Guide to Boston and the North Shore publication, the website includes detailed, printable maps and brief descriptions of coastal areas that are open to the public. Specifically, sites within Boston Inner Harbor, Dorchester Bay-Quincy, North Gloucester, and Plum Island & Vicinity are now online. The sites range from small boat landings to bustling urban docks to wildlife refuge areas—in other words, something for just about everyone. In most instances, descriptions include facilities available, parking information, and, when applicable, hours of operation. There is also a section devoted to public transportation. So what are you waiting for? Get your flip flops and pop tops ready for some some some summertime fun! For those looking for more places to explore, use the order form to request the printed Coast Guide, which includes almost 400 coastal sites from Salisbury to Hingham.

Smart Growth Toolkit CD The Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) has completed a Smart Growth Toolkit CD. The Toolkit was developed to present new methods to guide and promote sustainable and environmentally sound development and growth. Case studies are included to illustrate the broad range of smart growth techniques that transform traditional sprawl development patterns into innovative development designs that integrate housing and transportation needs with environmental protection. CDs and brochures targeted to local government officials, developers and the public, provide education about 12 smart growth techniques. In late July, EOEA will distribution the CD to all Massachusetts cities and towns. For more information about the Smart Growth Toolkit CD, brochures, and posters, contact CZM-EOEA Smart Growth Coordinator, Andrea Cooper, at andrea.cooper@state.ma.us. New Open Space Residential Design Model Adopted by North Shore Communities The CZM Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution Grant Program awarded funding to the Massachusetts Audubon Society North Shore Advocacy Office for outreach and implementation of a newly updated Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) bylaw/ordinance in three cities and towns in the Merrimack Valley region. This new OSRD model promotes low impact development (LID) land planning and site-design practices that simultaneously conserve and protect land and water resources, while reducing infrastructure costs. As a result of the project, the City of Newburyport, and the Towns of Georgetown and Salisbury adopted the new OSRD-LID model this spring. For a copy of the model bylaw/ordinance, contact Coastal NPS coordinator Julie Conroy at julie.conroy@state.ma.us or Smart Growth Coordinator Andrea Cooper at andrea.cooper@state.ma.us. Designated Port Area Success Story On June 7, Massport announced that a $47 million proposal has been selected for the Massport Marine Terminal in South Boston. This section of South Boston is one of 11 working waterfronts included in the Commonwealth's Designated Port Area (DPA) program—areas in developed ports and harbors where the creation or expansion of maritime industrial uses is encouraged. According to Massport, the proposal includes intermodal cargo warehousing and distribution, cold storage, bulk cargo, and seafood processing. This site has recently been used by the Central Artery Project to store excavated dirt, and was previously used for parking. For more information about DPAs, click here. EPA Grant Gives Massachusetts $256,580 to Monitor Coastal Beaches On June 16, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a $256,580 grant to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) to improve the water quality monitoring and public notification programs at state coastal beaches.
