2) Secure Permits
Early in the project, four of the growers secured lease/permits from the
Edgartown Harbor Master for the placement of four new moorings in "the
Narrows" of Katama Bay in Edgartown. Jack Blake planned to attach his new
upweller nursery to an existing permitted mooring. All the growers already held
local and state aquaculture licenses permitting the activities involved in the
culture of seed shellfish in the upweller nurseries.
