Dear Commissioners:
The Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) has reviewed the Notice of Intent by Christopher
Haley, 190 Blue Rock Road, to reconfigure the pier and floats on the Bass River in the Town of
Yarmouth, with respect to potential impacts to marine fisheries resources and habitat.
The project site lies within mapped shellfish habitat for soft shell clam (Mya arenaria). Subtidal
waters within the project site have habitat characteristics suitable for this species. Land containing
shellfish is deemed significant to the interest of the Wetlands Protection Act (310 CMR 10.34) and
the protection of marine fisheries. A shellfish survey was performed by John Lowell on March 3,
2020. Approximately 27 quahogs, 6 cherrystones, 4 littlenecks and 1 seed were found in 54 plot s
landward of the existing outer float.
Based on the scope of work as currently proposed, MA DMF has no recommendations for
sequencing, timing or methods that would avoid o r minimize impact at this time.
Questions regarding this review may be directed to Eileen Feeney in our New Bedford office at
(508) 742-9721.
Sincerely,
Eileen M. Feeney
Fisheries Habitat Specialist
