No harvesting of smelt by net will be allowed in Wareham’s Weweantic River for the next three years, following a vote by the Board of Selectmen at a Feb. 23 meeting.
The board’s vote followed the recommendations of Harbor Master Garry Buckminster and Brad Chase, a biologist from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.
Buckminster explained that the numbers of smelt are too low for the historic fishing site, and suggested a three-year fishing closure.
“I think three years is reasonable,” Buckminster said. “It’s the same thing that we would do for a shellfish closure, and the state is going to be monitoring [the site].”

controversy swirling about the circumstances of his release. here s what she told me. we ve been aware at the newspaper for a long, long time that there was a subterrainian dpz drumbeat about the manner in which he was captured and the manner in which he left his base. we have no evidence. we are reporters. we are reporters like every other good journalist in this country and we wait until the facts are in. we do not believe that people should be tried by sound bite nor in the social media in which there is no accountability. this is a military matter. this is a matter for serious consideration and we believe all the facts should be gathered before we indulge in character assassination, very frankly. brad chase, you care to respond to that? and what do you propose as an alternative? the soldiers remain silent?
