WELLFLEET – The town s Dredging Task Force is hoping a lobbyist will help open the doors for the dredging of the mooring field in Wellfleet Harbor next year.
Last month, the Select Board approved a $25,000, one-year contract with the lobbying firm FBB Federal Relations, which will represent the town in discussions with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The mooring field, also known as Area 2 in the harbor, includes intertidal mud flats that have been designated a special aquatic site by the Fisheries Service. As a result, the Fisheries Service wants the town to pay $13.5 million in mitigation

It’s getting to be that time of year when fins start popping up in the waters off the Bay State.
The first basking shark of the season was spotted this year off the coast of Cape Cod. The underwater creature, the second-largest living fish, was seen yards away from Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown, according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, a nonprofit that supports scientific research and tracks shark sightings.
The AWSC shared a video credited to Craig Marcotte of the large shark swimming in the waters close to the beach. Its lengthy, dark fins were seen by several beachgoers, one of whom can be heard swearing in the video.
