CUMULATIVE IMPACTS After voting to grant the site license at a duly advertised public hearing (M G.L. c-130 §60), the Select Board of the municipality must submit a request for site certification to the Division. of Marine Fisheries (DMF). A site inspection that may include a site survey will be performed by DMF. If DMF determines that issuance of the site license and operational activities thereunder will have no substantial adverse impacts to natural resources and existing fisheries, DMF will issue a conditional certification letter to the municipality and include a summary table that identifies other existing and conditionally certified aquaculture sites, gear types, and acreage within the same embayment as the proposed site, if you will utilize floating gear, what measures will you take to deter birds (bird deterrence plan required)?
