All members were present.
DRAFT CLAM BAY ANNUAL REPORTS
Chairman O'Brien explained the draft Clam Bay mangrove maintenance and tidal analysis annual reports
were included to review briefly;Mr.Tim Hall and Mr.Ken Humiston would present the full reports at a future
Board meeting.
Mr.Hall commented that historically when Clam Pass has closed,the water furthest from the Pass
becomes stagnant and increasing contaminants and algae growth.As oxygen levels decrease,fish and wildlife
move to unaffected locations.The longer the flow is constricted,the greater the chance for mangrove die-off,
especially during the rainy season.Areas identified as stressed continue to be monitored on the south side of Inner
Clam Bay(Plots 3&4)and north of Clam Pass(Plot 7).An unintended consequence of the 1998 dredging was an
increase in the tidal range creating a lower,low tide,and exposed seagrasses.Because of changes in the water
level,seagrasses are growing in other areas.Mr.Hall and Ms.Kathy Worley agreed it would be difficult and costly
SC. orres:
to propagate seagrasses.
