The boundaries were chosen to maximize the area designated, give
larger vessels a window in which to comply with this proposed
regulation, and generally represent all navigational waters.
There are marinas, yacht clubs and public landings/piers in the
proposed area with a combination of mooring fields and dock space for
the recreational and commercial vessels. Massachusetts has certified
that there are 29 pumpout facilities within the proposed area available
to the boating public. A list of the facilities, locations, contact
information, hours of operation, and water depth is provided at the end
of this petition.
Massachusetts has provided documentation indicating that the total
vessel population is estimated to be 15,283 in the proposed area. It is
estimated that 5,075 of the total vessel population may have a Marine
Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type.
The various beaches, marshes, and harbors and their recreational
opportunities attract thousands of visitors to Cape Cod and the Islands
every year. Within the proposed NDA area, there are 143 bathing beaches
covering over 26 miles of coastline.
The area is known for the strong prevailing southwest winds which
support sailing, windsurfing, and kite boarding. Numerous wildlife
tours, recreational fishing charters operate within the waters of this
proposed NDA, and it is an important and popular destination for
boaters due to its natural environmental diversity.
Six species of shellfish are harvested in the area, including soft-
shell clams, surf clams, blue mussels, oysters, ocean quahogs, and the
state's only commercial bay scallop fishery.
Southern South Cape Cod and Islands NDA encompasses approximately
12,500 acres of shellfish habitat, and supports an estimated 600
commercial shellfishermen. Recreational shellfishing alone was
estimated to be worth over $7 million in 2002 dollars to Cape Cod.
