"A Report upon the Mollusk Fisheries of Massachusetts" by Massachusetts. Commissioners on Fisheries and Game is a document from the past examining the struggling shellfish industries of Massachusetts. It reveals how overfishing and bad practices led to a concerning drop in shellfish numbers, like scallops, oysters, clams, and quahaugs and how the study was authorized by legal actions focused on gathering facts to learn about these animals and their environment needed in order to discover solutions. The report pictures a future where careful shellfish farming, handled through private leases, could make these fisheries healthy and productive again.
