Mass Maritime Outfall Pipe Project Draws Large Virtual Crowd In Bourne

More than 80 people logged into a remote meeting to discuss and debate a proposed wastewater discharge project designed to clean up Buzzards Bay, Buttermilk Bay and other waterways on the Upper Cape. Many of the people who logged on for the meeting expressed reservations about the efficacy of the project, which calls for discharge of wastewater from Wareham’s treatment plant directly into the Cape Cod Canal. The project was debated at length for more than two hours during the Bourne Board of Sewer Commissioners remote meeting on Tuesday last week, January 26. The project is being championed by the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Representatives of the coalition attended the meeting and said implementation of their plan would remove nearly 100,000 pounds of nitrogen pollution annually from Upper Cape waterways and estuaries.

Bourne Musings: What! Another Canal Outfall?

Recent posts on social media about a proposed wastewater outfall into the canal evoke images of huge volumes of brown sludge pouring into pristine waters. That is unfortunate, because the reality is that the proposed plan would benefit the entire Buzzards Bay watershed while greatly reducing pollution in many of its bays and inlets. In brief, this proposal would create a regional wastewater district that includes Bourne, Marion, Wareham, Plymouth and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. It is being driven by the region’s primary environmental organization, the Buzzards Bay Coalition. This is an unusual combination of players that has attracted support from both state and federal environmental protection agencies.

Program Offers A Lifeline To Fishermen, And A Home For Unwanted Oysters

(Jesse Costa/WBUR) Standing on a cold, wet beach, Bruce Silverbrand rummages through a metal basket of oysters. He picks out a huge one almost as big as a mitten, with a knobbed and lumpy shell. It’s what people in the shellfish industry call a “big ugly,” though Silverbrand abhors the term. I would never call an oyster ugly these are my babies, he says. He considers the monster in his hand for a moment, turning it over for a good look. This is not a bad looking oyster, really, for a big oyster.
