SENSE OF THE MEETING REQUEST
REGARDING SMALL MESH FISHING GEAR CLOSURE
In the continuing efforts to be excellent stewards of the waters and fisheries around
Nantucket Island the citizens of Nantucket are requesting improved management of our waters
for present and future generations. Protection of spawning squid and squid mops, river herring,
and sea herring are critical components to managing these resources. To that end Nantucket is
requesting equivalent protection to the other 90% of Massachusetts coastal communities as
shown on the attached map. This map shows 70 coastal communities in Massachusetts, 63 of
which have a great level of habitat and fisheries protection. Nantucket has not been afforded
such protection to date. The citizens of Nantucket are all taxpayers in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts like the other coastal communities on the attached map and should be afforded
the same protection as the majority of the Commonwealth’s coastal communities.
The citizens of Nantucket are requesting a mobile gear closure (bottom and midwater
draggers and hydraulic and regular clam dredges) with no waivers, letters of authorization or
other means of waving the closure. This area would extend out to 3 miles from the Nantucket
archipelago including Nantucket,Tuckernuck and Muskeget from May 1 thru October 31.
