REPORTS :

from Massachusetts was available to clubs and organizations . Also
fliers were being made up and anyone wishing to help distribute
them would be welcome.
Ralph Condit, the Green Seal representative, reports "The
program is moving along nicely. " Two hundred bushel of clams
had been distributed; 170 bushel in Hallocks Bay and 30 bushel
in Deep Hole Creek. The clams are spread at a ratio of-approximately
35 bushel per mile.
Ralph also reported the Town would be distributing clams
in Town Creek, Jockey Creek, and Goose Creek. In a three day
period, approximately 150 bushel a day would be distributed.
As a result of the program, the creeks would be closed for
three weeks after the uncertified clams are dumped. It takes
two days for the clams to filter themselves clean and three
weeks for the creek water to clear up .
The program not only increases the number of clams available
now, but also increases the spawning stock for the future.

Sound and its problems (dredge spoil, .colntaminationi eutxoficat .on,
toxics , etc. ) .
