SUMMARY:2022 Recreational Shellfish Harvesting “Shellfish Sit-In”
DESCRIPTION:PROTEST THE CLOSING OF THE SHELLFISHING BEDS\nDate: Tuesday\, November 1\nTime: 3:00pm\nWhere: Driftway Conservation Park\, Scituate\nWho: Concerned citizens who want recreational access restored. \nHelp Reopen Recreational Shellfishing on the North and South Rivers \nHelp reopen recreational shellfishing on the North and South Rivers by joining the NSRWA\, Representative Patrick Kearney and other concerned citizens for a “Shellfish Sit-In” on Tuesday\, November 1\, 2022\, at 3 pm at Driftway Conservation Park in Scituate. (Click here to register.)  November 1st is typically the opening day for the 606 acres of shellfish beds in the North and South Rivers to be opened for recreational harvest\, but this year for the third year in a row\, the shellfish beds will not be opened. Bring your waders\,  boots and shellfishing equipment (NSRWA will provide signs) for a photo opportunity to raise awareness about the issue. We will not be actually shellfishing. \nWhy? In October 2020\, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (Mass-DMF) closed the beds indefinitely\, citing an FDA regulation for interstate commercial shellfishing that requires certain dilution rates around a sewer treatment plant outfall in the event they fail or may release untreated viruses from the effluent into the rivers. Despite the NSRWA’s best efforts and large municipal expenditures to upgrade and treat the wastewater to the highest standards\, including UV treatment effective at the removal of viruses\, the dilution rates will undoubtedly keep some part of the shellfish beds in the North and South Rivers closed indefinitely.  The NSRWA and others have been advocating that the regulations are overly restrictive and meant to govern commercial not recreational shellfishing and that the current water quality data shows very clean effluent and no evidence of virus contamination that would be a threat to public health.  An update on the efforts to re open the shellfish beds will be provded at the event. \nHow Can You Help? We need your help to keep the pressure on to make sure that regulators understand how important this aspect of our coastal heritage is and that the harvest of local\, traditional food from our waterways is not denied to the public.  \n\nAttend our Shellfish Sit-In on Tuesday\, November 1\, 2021\, at 3 pm at Driftway Conservation Park in Scituate (Register here.)\nShare your shellfishing story with photos about what shellfishing means to you at the Shellfishin’ is Our Tradition Facebook page.\n\nWhat’s at stake?  The ability for the public to harvest shellfish in the North and South Rivers. To teach your children and grandchildren this time-honored tradition. To connect people to the health of their rivers and waterways by ensuring that our waters are clean enough to eat from. \nContact: Samantha Woods\, Executive Director\, North and South Rivers Watershed Association (NSRWA) Email samantha@nsrwa.org or call 781-659-8168 X101

SUMMARY:Salt Marshes and Estuaries with the Experts Tour
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever gazed out over the beautiful estuary of the North River and wondered how it all formed\, and how it has changed? \nThis field trip\, with NSRWA’s own Sara Grady\, Ph.D. and UMass Amherst Research Professor Brian Yellen Ph.D.\, will familiarize participants with the amazing story of salt marsh resilience in the North and South Rivers estuary. We will visit a series of sites that illustrate how the beach and salt marsh formed and how they have evolved in response to sea level rise and the Portland Gale of 1898\, which reconfigured the estuary’s geography. We will also take a sediment core in the North River salt marsh and look at what the layers of sediment can tell us about marsh’s response to sea level rise. \nJoin us on Saturday\, May 21 from 1:00-3:30pm as we visit 3 locations around the watershed. Brian Yellen has been studying hydrology and sediment transportation around the North River and has made some surprising discoveries about marsh composition and processes. He\, and NSRWA Ecologist Sara Grady\, will provide information about the North and South Rivers as well as hold a Q&A session at each location. \nWe will be visiting 3 sites. The sites are in order as follows: \n\nRexhame Beach – 325 Standish St.\, Marshfield\, MA\nMarshfield Recreation Department – 900 Ferry St.\, Marshfield\, MA\nDamon’s Point – 299 Damons Point Rd. Marshfield\, MA\n\nMeet at Rexhame Beach parking area at 1:00pm. \nAppropriate footwear is recommended. Carpooling is encouraged. \nThis event is free. Families welcome. No dogs please. \nREGISTER HERE \n(Photo credit – View from Rexhame Dunes Looking at Location of Old Mouth by Mike Sleeper)
