MARION Following the $10,500 cleanup of a shellfishing site in November, the town is looking to change its aquaculture regulations.
The Marion Marine Resources Commission discussed what the new regulations could look like at a Jan. 18 meeting.
Harbormaster Isaac Perry said that selectmen are hoping to create new regulations that would require permit holders to purchase a bond which would ensure the town would not have to spend its own money to clean up sites in the future.
In November, Perry and Shellfish Officer Adam Murphy conducted a $10,500 cleanup of Shea Doonan’s Ram Island shellfishing site after the Selectmen revoked Doonan’s shellfishing permits at a Sept. 8 meeting.
